Hi Reuben,

Your trike is looking great. Very neat and tidy.

Just an observation ......
What grade of bolts did you use on the undercart? I'm not sure that common hardware variety grade 8.8 bolts are suitable. They may be, but rather ask your AP to check them.
The purists will tell you that the bolts are also too long.

Best regards,
Byron

8.8 grade bolt are more than strong enough. Just make sure that the thread is not "inside" whatever you are bolting together. The grip length, ie, the shank of the bolt measured from underneath the head of the bolt, to where the thread starts, MUST portrude slightly out of what you are bolting together, so add a washer or two. OK, the threaded part is always hopelessly to long, and looks crappy, but if you cut it shorter, PAINT tha damn thing, otherwise it will rust. Your workmanship looks very neat!!
