Another little bit of progress this evening did a mock with ERW tube for the rear brace trying not to obstruct the carb intake too much, managing to get 100mm shock travel with the swing arm hopefully that will be enough!
Time to get the kids to bed and a wee dram for me to finish the night off!

Only four more tubes and I should be able to fully weld this chassis up, hopefully get this done next week. I had better give the kids some attention seeing as they are on holiday from school may go camping this weekend if weather holds up,but being Scotland I very much doubt it. Question: The 1/2" tube that I have seen in pictures that crosses from the brace behind the headstock on the lower tubes at what point is that welded. I cant get it to the engine mount or on the opposite side due to the exhaust.How far up from the engine mount is it welded? Sam

Graeme That's done by Tig welding yours will have been done by Mig, tig can cause more distortion and takes probably three times longer to do hence if producing several frames mig would be the option to go for unless the client is willing to pay for the extra hours spent welding.But you can't beat it for neatness saying that I have seen some top class brazing done on a Rickman reynolds 531 chassis which was a work of art.

Hi Sam, I'm confused about the tube you mentioned in your last couple posts. I can't find a tube on my Harris like what you might be talking about. It doesn't take much to go over my head though. Bill

I have all the bracing tubes in now so time to weld completely then work out the subframe.
