TriPod

Sometimes things don't according to plan, such as the new house with many problems,:gah: and the wiring didn't turn out the way the instructions noted (Damn Chinese)2022-07-25-271.JPGand the heat here in Riverside so I take it apart and move the electrics inside,2022-07-25-270.jpgand with the help from YouTube wiring problems solved,:clapping:Bench Tested that is, now to put it back on the trike to find the mistakes...:confused:

wiring

2022-07-27-272.jpgSetting up the wiring now on the trike (note the batts). OK!:clapping:The wires were mixed from the controller to the throttle (Thanks China) AND!!! I found a local wiring/solder guy who helps restore old pin ball machines locally, How cool is that... After he fixes TriPod then he will do RebelRouser.
 
Projects

I am not destined to get the projects finished,:gah:The wiring guy's wife gave him covid, so I decided to do one of my "Honey Do's List" change the double side stairs for more room in the carport. :clapping:HPIM4284.JPG:Coffee:
 
Mock up again

MockUp again! DAMN!:gah: Most of the wiring is straightened out BUT when the motor is engaged the diamond plate moves up or down, not enough support/bracing for the motor mount plate, so back to the drawing board for more bracing...:Shrug:HPIM4317.JPG1.jpgHPIM4319.JPG...

HPIM4330.jpg-HPIM4331.jpgDo you think these added braces will stop the flex? EDIT: Have to order the aluminum from eBay, not a large supply here in Hemet Ca.
