Thanks everyone!

Great input and much appreciated.

As I have the Silversteel already I will do my Mk1 half-shafts in this (once I have reduced them down to allow the bearings to be a stiff slip-fit along the entire length).

Stainless Steel would probably be cheaper at any rate, but I will use what I have spent my money on already first.

Dan.

Trikit make tricycles and used to make rear axle conversions It may be worth asking the proprietor Geoff Booker geoffbooker@trykit.com what material he uses.

Hi Dave,

Yes I know one can buy what I am making "off-the-shelf" on Ali-Express for £100 more or less, but where's the fun in that? Geoff's "Trykit" is well known among the "English Trike" racing fraternity I think.

What I am making is a crude home-made version of Geoff's end result using mostly "off-the-shelf" sub-components, in true "Atomic-Zombie" fashion. **LINK**

Thanks,

Dan.
