I have gathered up a load of major components for my trike. I am going to fabricate a fairly short and fairly narrow machine.
I want to keep it pretty short and not use a driveshaft or CV joint.
My plan is to use double #100 roller chain & sprockets as a coupler from the trans output to the 3rd member input.
I have two rear axle already.
1. 2005 Ford T-Bird IRS, brand new and complete. It's 66" wide. Needs narrowed.
2. 1976 Ford Maverick 8" ring, used, needs freshened up. It's 56" wide. PERFECT WIDTH!
I would have to narrow up the T-Bird IRS in order to use it. But I'd make it a lot simpler to use the 56" Maverick and no suspension.
I wondered if it is possible to have a driveable trike with a solid (unsprung) rear axle.
Much obliged,
Mustang Gregg
