watts linkage done! (almost)
i'm well happy. although i didn't quite measure the length of the bars right... i measured from the bracket on the axle to the centre of
the axle. i forgot to include an extra bit for angle toward the swivel in the middle. could really have added an extra inch or so, but its no big
problem, it would just look a bit neater if the swivel was perfectly vertical...
i'm not too sure about the chassis brackets though... might cut them off and redo them. i drilled them out to 1/2" (which apparently was
wrong lol they should be 3/8", but with 1/2" rod ends, and a spacer in the rod end. not entirely sure why, but if its good enough for
racing... thing is i thought the brackets were supplied for a number of uses, and had to be drilled out to size. so i might just cut them off and redo
them.

I think it looks neat.
OT question - what size tyres are those?
Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
