LeGrand Mk 18 : Seat, Stickies and Storage Feb 16, 2009
This weekend, we had the chance to get a few small tasks done on the LeGrand.
First, we took a fiberglass seat for a sprint shifter kart and cut it down to fit inside the LeGrand’s tub. We’re just using the back section of the seat; we’ll be using a two-part foam to give the sides more support.
The tires we were using were well past their prime, so we took the opportunity to mount up the fresher R25B tires and Keizer wheels.
The tires are a bit narrow at 7 and 9 inches wide. However, the rears are a little taller at 22 inches, which will better suit our gearing.
Meanwhile, we mounted up a lightweight aluminum tire rack in the enclosed trailer. The rack bolts through two of the steel girders that give the walls of the trailer some stiffness. We now have a place for four of our spare wheels and tires.
