Good restoration, those 'plastic' trikes aren't my taste but this does demonstrate one thing - they may be fast but they definitely don't stop as quickly! That took an almighty whack in the front to do that much damage but all looks good now.

Thats a super job. Looks far better then the original yellow.

The work you put in is very good. WELL DONE and enjoy the trike, they are awesome.

Back Axle

All the uniball joints and bearings where in bad contition. So i removed back axels, measured everything and ordered new parts.
Back brakes where ok.
When i but it back together i finded myself to be stupid. I know how to make car drive straight but how it is with trike ??
Right now i mesured from frame that back of the wheel is at same dictance as front of the wheel.
Do there need to be somekind of degree with both wheels ?
