Ruby's Small Engineering

Been absent from here for a while. So. HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Have spent a lot of time on Annie's trike. Finishing off Blu's seat, completing the new stainless exhaust system (my own creation 😃) and general tidying. Nearly there.
Electrics went pop in lean too, so had to sort that. Both portable heaters went bang and tripped the whole house out....Ooops.
So, back on it today, weather looking okay 😁

Morning all, bit of an update. Getting on we with Annie's trike.
Engine nearly done after oil pump went.
Blu's seat is also nearly done, waiting on softer springs, he's not that heavy.
Boot has been cut down to level of petrol tank and old hinge removed as totally f # . They had welded it on!!!!
Am open for any jobs that you may need doing. Please feel free to contact me.

All client work done and up to date.....SO.........Back to Grannie and adaptations ready for 'Blu's seat' 😃😃

Not been on here for a while. Really been busy, oil pump on Annie's trike went, clients trike building and fitting tow bar.
Oil pump out, found new one, New filter and proper old style oil found. Just need to put it all back together. Also whilst off road, have changed handlebar mounting to hopefully make it easier to turn at stop or low speed.
Clients tow bar at fabrication stage. He was hoping it would be ready for Dubs of Anarchy, unfortunately I am not hopeful. Weather has been against me and materials not arriving quick enough.
In between times helping another client adapt a Goldwing trike rear end to fit a BMW bike front. Making up spacers and inserts for him.

So as we are away for the weekend, best get back to it 😃

No interuptions from dogs today. So, so long as rain holds off, clients trike will be finished. Well in time for our weekend at Wheels of Steel :-) :-)

Had a busy week. Brakes all done on my trike. Test ride today if weather holds. Viewed a job on another trike yesterday....told him .."you can do that" So he's going to do it and if needs be I will assist. Went out last night and now recovering :-) :-)

Worth all the hard work I think.
New mudguards.
New lights on rear.
Handbrake 're mounted.
New battery box made and mounted.
Frame cut down.
Seat altered to suit, thank you Cobra Leathers
One very happy Trike owner 😃

Nearly forgot....also made a proper breather n filter for diff and fitted.. you can just see it poking up behind right hand light 😀

Lights were held on with gaffa tape after re-wire just to get trike here. Brackets and holders turned up and fitted. Shiney bits galore :-) :-)

it works perfectly.

One pair of hand guards. Brackets were too short. Made extensions and polished up from raw stainless flat bar. Customer wanted shiny, she has got shiny 😀😀

Trike brakes work.....Woohoo.....calling Mark Monday...strike while the irons hot n all that 😀😀

Trike is rigid. When travelling with no passenger, seat and rack bounce and rattle!! So manufactured a stay. When no passenger, bolt in top hole to keep everything rigid. When carrying a passenger, bolt in bottom hole which allows full up/down movement of stay rod. John is so pleased, he now just needs to get the paint brush out 😀

Well, an update. The major tidy up is going well. In between trips to the tip, I have done a few little jobs on the wife's Trike, and our 'Stretch Teardrop' as dubbed by a friend. However I am open for business ready and waiting.
