Have now made the final frame would like to call it a chassis but you can see it`s really a frame it took me 3 attempts to get there the first 2 times the frame buckled after silver soldering i`m not sure but it may have been me cooling it with water

This is my third attempt and this time i didn`t cool it .  It was pinned between 2 dural plates i thought the dural would melt while soldering but it never surprised but that`s what happened

Two mods using a nylon worm and the two bolts that keep the shaft inline replaced by a brass angle with a slot cut out same size as the shaft dia.
The body shell will be bolted to the top (when made ) should be simple enough my immediate problem now is how to secure the axles this time i want to make it steerable easier said than done so really have a lot to think about.
