Custom new school forklifter

(1/2) > >>

oldschoolace:
Our kid is back home in a few weeks and we are working on a little Christmas project for my wethepeople cream. Plan is to bring the classic redline forklifter stem back for a newschool ride.

It's going to be as near as possible to the original.  :daumenhoch:

It's early days design wise but I'm trying to decide whether it should have an internal fork clamp like an oddy V3 to keep the classic lines or to go with a much easier option of a standard slot and 2 bolt clamp configuration.

What do we reckon

Picklez:
sounds great, and with your skills I'll be keeping an eye open for updates on this one.

Just my humble opinion but I'd love to see it with the internal clamping, much more in keeping with the original and cleaner lines, but heck more of a challenge, and probably a lot more work  :(

deeman:
I wouldn't have a clue but looking forward to the results already Clint  :daumenhoch:

Jaymz:
I would try for an internal wedge. But thinking about the angle of a forklifter the wedge would have the be angled to slide down through the stem, and that sounds like a machining angle nightmare.
