A Cyclekartist is what anyone becomes who even attempts to build a cyclekart!
At the moment this site and the kart I intend to build (an Austin7 ‘tincan’ – twincam! – replica) are in their infancy. Please give me a few weeks – or years! – to get things on the move. Ahead of the site proper, I can say that it will appear as a blog with separate blogs for each stage and will start off with some documentation, a spec-sheet, my shopping-list, some pictures and drawings as I progress to and then through the actual build. I hope you enjoy the process and occasional discussions you will find here. Peter for Armstrong, to whom this build and site are dedicated to and who will join in later, when the time is ripe (which HE will decide!).
The picture above is the look that we are aiming at – still a lot of work to get the drawings right and then an attempt at some 3D drawings to get the project sorted and tried out. THEN comes CAD (Card Aided Design) to finally sort the bodywork and final fitting out!
Wheels are still a problem inasmuch as I have not yet decided which hubs and rims to use. The front axle is the main conundrum at the moment, so I will be updating on that as time goes on. Still looking for a reasonable program (sorry, ‘App’) that will simulate the movement of linked chains of moving parts efficiently, easily and cheaply!
The aim is to build and design everything myself with a minimum of bought-in parts, so plenty of things to figure out and try out, too! No idea where I’ll be able to do the latter, but time will tell…
