 Made the sides of the seat and tried to re-create the shape of the dodge. With only two weeks to wilton I am cutting it fine to get it finished.

2 weeks of 'self isolation' should get it sorted!

Thanks for the kind words. It has crossed my mind to self isolate.  ;D

Replaced a couple of spokes and painted the rear wheels. Fitted a catch to hold the dummy fuel tank.

Thanks Chris,  I haven't run it yet but it is a new and mighty 6.5hp clone engine. Hopefully I will get time to fire it up over the weekend and try a test drive. If not it will be at Whilton mill, virus allowing. The 6.5hp engine will get a little tuning later if it turns out to be ok and the plan is to run that with the other cyclekarters.  I have an old gx390 engine that I shall build into a nitromethane/methanol screamer to see how fast I can get the cyclekart.

Won't be a cyclekart with the 390 :)

All ready for a test drive but no where to go that is open to the public. I am lucky to have have a private road that is a loop only half a mile away so I can test there and keep my social distance at the same time. Hopefully next weekend.

I meant to attach this photo to the last post but pressed the post button too soon.

Jim, it looks a real treat and I see on Facebook it's running well too. I want to thank you for taking the time to post your progress frequently for everybody. Just what is needed to spread interest and enthusiasm. Hope we can all meet up soon.

Looking great Jim, any idea of eight at this stage? Do I spot a diff in there?
