Myself and my Leigh-on-Sea spar, Hotplate are looking to get one together for MK this year…any help much appreciated (Hotplate will be paying for it too ! I'm just providing the assistance, as I'm skint ! lol !!)
Help please…. :daumenhoch:

I am completely disillusioned now Tony, I thought that all your own work! :LolLolLolLol:
Bru :daumenhoch:
I know Bruce, dissapointing. Me an 796 decided to make one up from scratch early last year, but getting a set of plans was impossible, so when our frame came up for sale it was the right thing to do :angel:

Tony - you Charlatan !! :LolLolLolLol:
If you're taking it to the next Braintree meet I will have to bring my tape measure and Camera then ;) ;)

Hi
If this helps at all, all I remember from riding, building them bitd was that you got a basic idea of sizes that would fit the frame and the riders (width of platform, frame top tube length etc as these all vary for each person and bike). Then got a bike that could be used, then used a template made from copper pipe. This was cheap, easy to bend, can be fixed with tape, screws, or joints (at the builders / plummers you could get - 45 and 90 degree bends and straight connectors) to get it to fit and look correct.
It was then adjusted to fit, and usually after even more adjustment and tweaks, you ended up with a good template. This was then sent away / made in house in metal, with good joins, bends, welds etc and hey presto, a side hack...if it felt wrong after a few races you then just cut it and adjusted it, or started again.......
I think it will be pretty hard to get a specific design to fit any frame as they are pretty much all different.
Some good designs here though - http://anthonydomingo.com/hack/
