G'day all out there. I have a trike project that I started collecting parts for over the last 3 years. I will start at the frame I'm using a Yamaha 1000 frame this will be mounted directly to the motor with solid mountings. the motor is a 3.5 rover v8 running twin LPG carbies instead of the su's. the transmission is from an Alfa Romeo Alfetta it is a ZF3hp22 transaxle automatic with Di Dion rear suspension & inboard disc brakes .
the adapter you will see when I put up the pics is damn ugly but at $10.00 was cheap it came from a shut down analogue tv transmitter station. the Alfa has an unusual setup on the front of the trans it runs a tailshaft from the rear of the motor to the front of the gear box in the rear of the car. I have to get an adapter made to go between the rover flex plate & the Alfa torque convertor then I can bolt it all up to start sorting mounting the frame to the motor. ernie
