Hi all
Busy day down the shed been working on the swing arms .
Christian supplies the arm in white metal you then have to tape them for a m3 thread and bolt .

Taping the swing arms

Swing arm with shaft attached that will go into chassis m3 socket head bolt was used then cut to size like one in bottom of photo the brass retainer you see will go on the inside of the chassis and hold the swing arm in place there will be some piano wire connect to the brass retainer to form the suspension .

Swing arm with wheel giving you a idea how it all goes together
More up dates soon
