Hi Pred
Love those Shelsley special type hill climbers - your builds looking great.
I too decided to build another kart based on Nigel Davenport's Spider.
I'm say 30% through the build but my first job was to build the V twin engine.
I used bits of plywood : aluminium offcuts : plastic waste fittings : Asda rolling pins and yoghurt pots together with bits and pieces laying about the garage (spark pugs and leads etc. )
one or two photos attached. The barrels are ali and plywood discs with a long through bolts. (wish I'd thought of putting the engine there !! )
O Bri I love your mock up V Twin it looks so good and authentic, nice job

This is my second Build, a Cyclekart of this design has been done in the US by Kelly Wood and to me looked really interesting, so I'm having a go. It's going to be cooked balls or wear a cricketers box lol
What front springs have you used Pred ?Hi Tim, got a pair from an old trailer cut them down to size, cost me £20
