I have the tires and fenders on the tri car now. The motor mounts will be welded in shortly.
In order for the wheels to turn with the inner front fender support which holds the fenders in place and solid, I cut a piece of aluminum tubing and put it over the top of the king pin.
When the wheel is turned the fender support pivots on the king pin.
The tubing was packed with body filler and two sheet metal screws were put through everything to hold it together. A washer was welded to the bottom of the support so that there is a hard surface for the king pin top to ride on. The tubing rides up and down the king pin as the suspension moves.
That's it for the moment. Once the motor mounts are in I'll break it down and prime it and get it ready for painting.
