DING BOB TRIKES AUSTRALIA

VW TRIKE FRAME  

2003-4-5-6 Model 03/SA VW / Subaru frame. (Page 2)   

  11 Pics below.

WE ARE looking for a trike frame that will take all of the VW Motor (Automatic and Manual) combinations without having to alter the frame.

 

#July 03 - Frame will now take 1600 and 1800 cc Subaru motors [E81 / E82] with an adapter plate / kit (which we can supply) to match up with a VW Auto or manual gearbox.

Ding Bob radiator with thermo fan goes up front. 

We also want to use the same frame for a number of different front ends and body styles. 

   Seamless tubing precision cut and bent for frame.

                            trike frame in a lot of bits

Frame in Jig.      Steve. A really good welder guy.

 

To cut a 12 month story short.  The front end and rear suspension are the bits we are playing around with here because they have to work together for the whole package to handle well.

                                                                                               

                                                              We are happy. It all works.

# Note that this frame doesn't have the side running board rails fitted as standard. These are necessary for our 'Overlander' and 'Roadster' body styles. We will fit them free [welded on] when you order a frame with either of those bodies. OR we can supply the side rails and all the nuts and bolts separately if you are going to use or design a different body OR if you just want  them there for the hell of it. They can be powder coated or chromed OR we can weld them to the frame for you. POA.
