So, I've been doing a bit more work on the trike. Added the brake support bars, and the steering tabs.
Installed them on the trike, and tried to figure out how the tie rod will fit.
This is with the trike inverted. With the tie rod touching the main square tube, there is 1.25" between the steering tab and the tie rod (on both sides).
This doesn't look right, obviously - it will take a lot more than a washer or nut to shim this difference.
I welded the steering booms using the jig you can see in an earlier picture - all the measurements are right as far as I can see.
Any idea what is going on?
