Nice work, Mate!

Are you using the same rear axle assembly on all of your trikes and what make is it, if you care to share that info...?

Hi there the axle i use is a reliant axle and have used it on every conversion i have done its light so wont ware your gear box out, i alway press out the tubes then press a tube in side of the original tubes to beef it up a little then press s/s over the outer of the original tube this is after striping the axle of all its original brackets the ratio is 3.23 they come in 3 different ratios the other two being 3.54 and a 2.78
