Your missing a trick with that back wheel. weld a sprocket to one of the shafts and have 3 wheel drive

Thought about it.. the torque+added load might just snap the chain lol

Err, just looking at your bushes for the pivots - why have you got no crush tubes?
You're not going to just try to let it pivot on the bolt are you?!

And be very careful using the outer rose joints in shear like that, generally they need to be very oversized to last as the stress concentration across the thread root means the fatigue rate is insane.

True on the rose joints, I don't mind altering at a later date.
If you saw the 1.25" Tube i used to demonstrate the fittings for the bushes. its reamed to 25mm, Sliding fit for the bosses that are threaded for the rose joints. I forgot to show it, but they are getting welded on and the boss with slide in. so i can swap it out for a larger drilled/threaded boss. if needed. (probs will now )
Quick pic ::

as for the bushings sleeves, I can sharp stick the bushes back in the lathe. just for now i wanna make sure its going to work. I was going to Drill and tap one side of the brackets M10. Through hole on the other side. so i could side the bolt in.. nip it up snug then put a lock nut on. that way it SHOULD NOT.. need a sleeve (I say that but if it doesnt work.. Thats my problem ) lol...

Cheers for pointing out the rose joint though
