Awesome Brian, some lucky kids there, under your tutelage.

The wheels posed a bit of a problem, so we used moped rims made our own hubs and re'spoked them, an interesting exercise for a modern lad.

I think its time I finished this thread,The clock and poor health have taken all of my time but things are now on the up so I will continue.
Having made the wheels we then could calculate the angles required for the steering and the axle was made.

Hey Brian, it's good to have you back!
I had forgotten about this project and was surprised to see it re-surface. It's great to see such a complicated finished and working to plan. It must have been quite a task to keep all of that young energy focused and moving in the right direction.
Thanks for sharing it.
Tom
