New 3 Wheeler Model
Plans
Sources:
- I searched through the MMC web site for pictures of the new trike, they have a brochure with several good images.
- The drawings in GoMoG, in the workshop/trikes section.
- S&S engines have a detailed drawing of their X-Wedge engine in a pdf file on their web site.
Wheels:
Converting from millimetres to inches:
| Hub dia. | 1" |
| Inner rim dia. | 1 3/4" |
| Outer rim dia. | 1 31/32" |
| Wheel dia. | 2.66" |
| Wheel width | 9/16" |
| Spoke dia. | 5/64" |
Chassis:
I started out intending to build a '30's era barrel back so the front cross member I built was modelled on the barrel back's sliding pillar front end. That makes my model a hybrid with the '30's cross member and the 2011 body. I have included a drawing of a front cross member closer to the new three wheeler's for an option.
NOTE: The pictures of the plans drawn on the 1/4" graph paper are stored in high resolution. Save them to your computer (right click on the image, select 'Save Image') then you can adjust them to print full size.
Body:
The top two are for the top and side of the upper body piece. The third is for the lower body.
Cowl and Body Cross Section
Here are the curves on the side of the upper body at the front and back of the cockpit. And top, front and side views of the cowl. Again drawn on a 1/4" grid.
Engine:
A scaled copy of the drawing from S&S.
With top and side view projections of a cylinder block.
