My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

The swingarm has turned out quite nicely, easy to build with minimal common materials, and self jigging for welding.

Importantly, fully and easily adjustable for tracking and camber.

Out of curiosity, was the decision to have changing the rear wheel on the right or left determined by exhaust routing?

I'm not Mark, but my guess would be to keep the "changer" away from traffic while changing the rear tire on the side of the raod.

The suspension strut should be on the left so that the person putting things into the cargo area tends to stand on the safe, non-traffic, right side.

To be frank, wait, I don't like frank, so why would I want to be him.

Fuel tank, fuel pump/sender, and 3 suspension struts arrived this afternoon.

 

[Sonoran Sam]

Fuel tank

How much fuel does the tank hold?? Liters/gallons??

 

[Johnny Acree]

I'm going to let Mark answer, but, guess 6 gal.

 

[JEBar]

as best I can recall the tank out of Mark's donator vehicle that he designed the storage area for holds 8 gallons

 

[Mark BEX]

Fuel tank should be 8 US gallons with the piping.


Setting up the rear suspension, made the upper and lower bushes that attach to the strut, and last thing lasered the brackets to attach it to the frame, which i shall attempt tomorrow
