Thanks Duke, I've noticed that Katman is very knowledgable for crossreferencing parts.

Katman, can I reduce the rake & trail on the steering tube? I'm doing a bunch of cutting & welding on the frame, anyway, so that's just another thing to add to the list. I'd be rigging it to be straight & true, of course. It's not really any different that rigging an aircraft for symetry. Just a smaller scale. I don't know, would that still be too little clearance? Would the header be a problem? Maybe I can use a 16" wheel. Help, as always, is very much appreciated.

Hey Duke...looks good man. Did you use the same paint on the wheels
and bucket? From these pictures the color all seems to be the same tint.
I also like the red headers.....thinking of doing mine in blue now. :roll:

Cool...very cool!!
