Welcome Ryan - good story.
I am sure you can find plenty help here during your build.
BTW, update your profile to indicate where in SA you are so that when you ask for things we can point you in the right direction a little easier.

Hi Eben thanks for the welcome. As a concerned parent with all the rubbish that kids are exposed to I recently decided that I needed to get my son out of the house and away from the elctronic games and restore the balance. So we decided to embark on a VW Trike building project. What better way is there to work(have fun), that is not onlynd educational, but also fun together, than spending quality time on a project. The Trike kit has been ordered and should arrive end January 2010. We have bought a '74 411 motor which is currently being reconditioned. Will keep all informed as the project progress

Thanks for the welcome

Does anyone know if there is a local manufacturer of drum-to-disk kits in SA ? Or do I need to give Rui a call ...
