Dexion |

I'm trolling around for ideas to make a chassis as simple as |
|
possible without welding or bending. I've used Dexion in the |
|
past for shelving & such. Did a search this morning & found a |
|
supplier that also does a connecting system. |
|
Any useful comments or hints would be gratefully received. The |
|
supplier was |

Welcome to CKGB Stearman :-) |
|
Anything that will bear the load for a chassis, many people go |
|
without welding. Timber, composite, aluminium have all been done |
|
with varying degrees of success . Check out this Canadian? |
|
fellow on YouTube ... |

|
Also go through the build journals here and on the American |
|
cyclekart forum... |
|
https://www.cyclekartclub.com/ |
|
and here at |
|
Gittreville... |

|
If you already have an inspiration CK in mind, this helps |

Thanks for the reply JimR. |
|
I've only had this in mind for a week, but I've looked at loads |
|
of info from various sources mainly YouTube which incindentally |
|
I have my own channel |
|
https://www.youtube.com/@stearman65/videos |
|
There's nothing on my |
|
channel about CK's yet but I'm sure that will come. Your post |
|
has given me a couple of links I didn't know about so I will |
|
investigate those. As for genre of CK I built a Marlin Roadster |
|
& a Morgan 3 wheeler replica back in the early 80's & I'm |
|
leaning towards the Morgan but electric powered, rear wheel |
|
drive. This would cut down costs (only 3 wheels) & only 2 wire |
|
wheels possibly. I used the rear wheel off the donor bike (Honda |
|
CX500 motor bike) on my Morgan as it was shaft drive all in one |
|
piece with the engine. I don't know of any motorbikes with a |
|
similar configuration that fall within the CK engine size rules. |
|
It's so long ago but I think my Morgan had an extended drive |
|
shaft? |
|
Thanks again. |

On the Gittreville site there is already a nice electric Morgan |
|
Cyclekart. Worth a look... |
