I hope the wires exiting the frame all get rubber gromets. Otherwise, it looks awesome, great job !

[trikelops]

@n6ugy Hey Thanks. All of the wiring running through the frame is insde PEX tubing that extends through the holes in the frame. This not only protects the wires but makes getting them fished through easier, works great. Dizzy

trikelops, Never hears of PEX tubing. I'll have to do a search. Sounds like a great way to do it. Dennis

[trikelops]

@n6ugy Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links. It is formed into tubing, and is used predominantly in hydronic radiant heating.... I just happened to have it on hand but any flexible PVC(NOT HOSE) tubing that is semi-rigiid but has a slick intrior will work. They sometimes call this type of tubing as flexible PVC 3/8 is .20 per foot at my lol hardwre supply.

@n6ugy It may be a little hard to see in these pics but all of the wires inside the frame are are also inside of heavywall clear pvc tubig that exits the frame where ever the wires do. Thanks for the coment and for looking at my channel

I did mine out of a 71 vw van with IRS. Made very heavy duty control arms which, from axle center to bolt center, are 26.5". Bushing to bushing is 10.5". Spring/shocks (83 nighthawk) mount from 2" below stock IRS, and just ahead of the axle boots are Art Morrison 8" to 12" low rider air bags. Gauge Enterprises 1.3 wheel adapters. Corvette 18" wheels. Van front sway bar, etc. I built this thing (hopefully) to not wheelstand with 200 hp at 3000 rpm, and every part is adjustable to that end.

Wow your doing a great build. I especially like the mud guards (fenders) and the LED lights on the back end. AL

trikelops, I've never noticed that stuff at the hardware store before, i'll keep my eye's open for it now. Dennis
