I know most people who use diff like the west wales one use it as independent or as a hardtail which is a fixed frame joined to bike's frame.the advantage of reliant or fixed axle is that you have the diff connected to axle tube's and then the wheel hub's all in one unit,but you are governed...
weight is a problem that is the reason i went with reliant axle. plus the axle came with bike so did the wheels so it was silly not to use them.weight not such problem on bigger bike engine.Go with your original ideas and see how it turns out.you don't know till you try the mono shock trike i...
here is a picture of one idea a company in the states do i made a tensioner out of a 1inch flat steel bent and a bolt and skateboard wheel so when you screw bolt up it push's wheel up onto chain to tension.
I cannot take credit for axle i found it on-line when looking after i started reliant trike axle.look on www.westwalestrikeshack.co.uk that is where it comes from.I looked at making my own one but it worked out cheaper to buy one already made.the side plates are for welding to frame work and...
here are 2 more pictures of differential.:thumbsup:The aluminium you ask about is in fact powdercoat chrome colour looks silver gray colour in darker light but does look more like chrome when sun shine's on it if that happens in uk at the moment:mad:differential idea would work but i am dying to...
Hi Ameathead
I will be taking diff apart later today i am going to try something different with inner diff to make easier for greasing and not filling differential case full of grease.so i will take pictures:thumbsup:and post on here later,also will put some pic's of powdercoated frame and...
The sprocket is a harderned steel jtr850 X 31 tooth made by www.jtsprockets.com based in uk and america who are very helpfull with info,i purchased from wemoto as they are stockists of this i think i payed about £22.00 with postage.This sprocket was the most amount of teeth able to fit in...
Hi AMeathead
Have just put axle back together:doh: but have a diagram of reliant axle hopefully it will appear with this you take the crown wheel off inner differential marked with blue shading and a new sprocket is bolted onto differential marked with blue arrow this then turns differential...
I would look into axle's as reliant axle is not the best one for a chain drive conversion you are limited to size of sprocket you can fit mine is a 31 tooth which is about as large as you can get in a reliant differential case.i have seen somewhere of a suzuki axle used.you can get parts in...
:doh:Sorry missed latter half of message .The chain is a DID 530 x 120.the axle set up was from information collected from different articles in magazines.Have not had trike on roads yet as i am still building it but have been up and down drive way,pulls well.don't know to speed yet.i have got...
The rear axle is from a 3 wheeled reliant robin car the differential is the one with axle from reliant.It will be run with grease in side differential instead of oil as having to cut entry and exit hole's in differential casing for chain from bike to run sprocket fixed to differential.the half...
