    @willaupuis thanks for updating the links, photos are now showing correctly. It's the alluminium extrusion and brackets also part of a ready made kit? It looks like the pieces have been supplied cut to length? Do you mind me asking how much it cost, extrusion and brackets/fixings?

    Hi!
    I love your design, very clean and nicely packed 'engines'! :thumbs

    Do you think that spring is necessary for support ?

    The springs are not indispensable, but the friends who will ride on it weigh an average 120kg
    Springs extend engine life
