Slow progress with the trike, but progress all the same.
Started off with this lot and had a fun few hours lacing and truing. Truing is a ball ache. I don't have the patience to do this for hours on end so I've done a bit here and there to start pulling things into line.
Mocked up some lengths of box section for marking up cut lines for the ground clearances and angles that are required for the main frame booms.

Once I was happy with angles and positioning, I tacked things into place and made any necessary adjustments to keep things square and inline as I went along. This part is taking me ages, but that is mainly on my part. I have been checking the alignment of the frame every time I put the welder to the job. Best to check regularly so there are no surprises later down the line.
Run out of wire for the MIG, that's the welding on hold for a bit! 😂
Spent this weekend down on Sennybridge training area marshalling the Severn Vally Stages Rally. Never been so busy whilst marshalling. One major accident and numerous mechanicals to assist the crews with. I think I have fabrication challenges; the crew of this very second hand looking Group N Impreza were lucky to walk away with a few bumps and bruises and I'm sure they will have long nights reshelling the car.

First rally I have marshalled on for some time that it has been dusty. No wind left us covered in a layer of dirt at the end of the day.
Good times!!
