The cast aluminium plates which the steerer pivots on. They needed the rectangular hole in the centre opened up because they were designed for a very narrow seatpost clamp, and the ones I have are wider. Left is modified, right unmodified, so that now..... |

Adding a slot for the cables to come out of the steerer and into the fork tube. This is the same process I used the other day for the face of the steerer, but this time the slots are in the hardwood pieces which are top and bottom on the steerer. A couple of screws were in the way, so I removed them, then cut them short before putting them back in after the slot was made. |

Good progress by the end of the night!

Hi, here are the photos of today's progress. I had a break at about 2pm and went for a ride it took visits to 4 bike shops to find enough flexible noodles (6) for the end of each cable on the trike, but it was worth it. The mod to the fork I did yesterday seems to be working well, and although a few tweaks are still needed, I think I can get everything working without the chain rubbing.
I could have done a midnight blocky on the trike, but will save that for the morning. Still a bit to go, in particular the wooden sidepanels need a bit of altering before they will look halfway decent on the trike.
All for now!
Steve Nurse
