The stiffeners are clecoed from below, to the ground plate, in preparation for the seat plate attachment. The drive side chain pulley is visible along with the chain guide tube. |
The seat plate consolidates the stiffeners, the ground plate and wheel panels to make the primary structure of the base of the velomobile. |
With the clecoes removed and rivets in place, the seat plate takes on a much cleaner appearance and is a very stiff assembly as well. |
|
The rear fender assembly required a table extension. It is attached only at the rear bulkhead, prior to the rear skin installation. |
A larger view of the full assembly clecoed in place, supported with a temporary brace. |
The seat assembly, along with the steering bar and brake levers present a bit of perspective but the seat angle probably won't be so great. |
|
Top nose skin clecoed and taped to hold the curve prior to drilling the side and fender holes. |
Front suspension (McPherson strut), steering linkage and brake assembly. |
Top sheet clecoed, shift cables, bottom bracket and cranks. |
|
Clecoes and tape still holding the top nose skin. Front wheel in place just to see how it looks. |
Another view of the previous area. It's starting to look like a vehicle, if you use your imagination! |
Now the rear panels are taped in place and clecoed to the top of the rear fender panel and two points on the nose panels. |
