Looks pretty functional John. As for the welding, lets just say that your machining skills far exceed your welding skills. :beer: |
| John Hill:
Excellent little ensemble you have there now John. In fact it is quite difficult to think of improvements... :scratch: |
| lazylathe:
Looks excellent john!! A lick of paint and it will look custom! :clap: Think of all the tools you could load into that little buggy..... :smart: Andrew |
| Shadow:
Nice setup there John. Thank you also to those who helped you in various ways. I'm jealous as I'm stuck with a handbasket for my kneewalker, and to add insult to injury the store recently downsized the baskets, went to green plastic "green" baskets. Yes we are indeed going "to .... in a handbasket" at a faster rate based on capacity. As for signs, a so-called friend suggested I get a slow moving vehicle triangle sign just before I suggested a poke in the eye. I do have a "Born To Be Wild" bumper sticker. Who says you can't go posh with a trailer hitch? They put 'em on Cadillacs. Matching red paint and it would nearly disappear. Good work John. |

Many thanks everyone for the comments. And now just a bit of a blanket answer for you all. I knew about the registration for road use, but I only go on the road when crossing it, even though I do 8mph most of the time. Just let the boys in blue try to catch me speeding on the pavement. :lol: My long vehicle sticker is made, it just needs to be stuck on. I STILL have sitting in my garden a 1500cc flat 6 Goldwing mo'sickle, and that has a trailer with a rack on top. I thought about fitting that trailer, but it is about the same size as the buggy, and I thought maybe a little too large. I honestly don't think a rack would be that beneficial at this time. I haven't done any welding for well over 10 years, and that was stick or gas, where you actually feed the rod in yourself. In the half hour I spent welding this thing up, I don't think I did too bad, considering I had never used MIG before, plus I had to do it sitting down, and didn't realise just how much spatter this type of welding gives out. Even though I had a leather apron on, certain crucial areas of reproduction got rather hot after the spatter settled in my lap. Just give me another hour on it, and I will be welding as good as when I did my 2 year college course in specialist gas and arc welding. As for Bandit (Snoopy), I opened the lid for the very first time and he jumped straight in, most probably looking for spiders, and he fit in very well indeed, plenty of room to lay down on a cushion. Just one problem though, to keep the rain out I would have to lock the lid down, and after say half an hour, I don't think Bandit would be with us any more, it seals almost airtight. He can stay on his usual spot on the footboard, sitting down, nose facing into the wind with his ears flapping about in the breeze. I don't think any mods (except for the side braces) need doing. It caters for my needs perfectly as it is. John |
