Another drivetrain update

After a intermediate assembly modification and a weld failure the intermediate assembly is almost complete. There's a couple of loose end and some trimming but its almost there.

We pulled the bike down from the table to start sorting out the steering. A lot of my ideas have flown out the window. Between my dad and I we've managed to sort out a couple that just might turn out for the best. This is and continues to be a design as we go project.

The best part about this stage was that before we pulled the bike down we tied the two drive wheels together by tacking the axle into its carrier and running the wheels. It was so cool to see both the wheels moving. Once we put it on the ground we checked the axle stability and found a weakness in the intermediate assembly and the axle itself. To our disappointment but not surprise the axle flexed. Not to worry though we did take that into consideration We have a pillow block bearing that we will use to brace the axle.

It's getting close and I'm hoping to have it road worthy by July when we go to Myrtle Beach.
