Good work!
Just curious: why do you fit a handbrake light switch? Is this because of british regulations? According to dutch regulations, it's not mandatory.

great progress!
I am looking forward to your wiring job on the engine. Now I see it is a real challenge to clean up the wires at the rear of this vehicle.
greets!

Hi Erik,
It is not possible to tidy up the wires, tubes and lines.
My plan is to cover the wires by the swirlpot + base.
Wait and see!

Hi Erik, It is not possible to tidy up the wires, tubes and lines. My plan is to cover the wires by the swirlpot + base. Wait and see! The R6 Trike appears to be a very clean build! I cannot recall where I have seen the pics but the wiring on the engine is very minimalistic. Your alternative is a nice option as well. I am reconsidering to place the batterie on that place. With luck I may be able to mount the licence plate to the batterieholder and some electronice underneath the batterie. Do you make a protector in front of the airbox as well? on the demotr1ke I see some shiny bend metal. I recon this is for water protection. good luck!! Erik |

This evening fitted the battery, gear knob and the clutch cable. Rear:  . Pedal view: At IKEA i purchased the sandpaper tape, for having anti slip pedals.... The tape normally is intended to make painted wooded staircases less slippery.  Pedal top view:  |

All electrics nearly done. Alarm indicator switch is the last to connect.
Next week will fill the car up with cooling fluids and start the engine for the second time.
Then I can verify the Anglais cooling issue...

This evening did the first two test runs. Engine started at ones. :-)
After each test run I let the engine cool down. During each cooling down a full expansion bottle of cooling liquid was sucked in.
Tomorrow some more runs to test if the cooling is sufficient.
Not much to make a picture of.
