Why welcome him? Because of the friendly nature of the forum... Why good luck? Because he may need it whilst looking for all the bits he'll need for a half decent Uster replica... Why messy? I'm not sure... Just a feeling that not everyone on a friends of the seven site will welcome the starting point for this build, when so little of a late Ruby will ultimately be suitable...

One other point Arthur - I would recommend getting the rad. surround prior to Rod making the bonnet, they can vary in shape slightly.

I can supply a rad surround. If you email me on restorer23@gmail.com I will send you some photos. I can't seem to upload pics I the new forum.

I can't help but wonder why nobody has mentioned the hassle he will get with the DVLA when it comes to registering, unless of course it's for off road use ?
I am always interested in any information about Rosengart details or current owners.

Kit cars generally will get an age-related registration as long as they can fulfil the required "original components" criteria, i.e. engine,transmission, steering, brakes, suspension etc. which will represent a majority from one vehicle.
If it falls short it will be designated a Q plate.
As an avid trike fan I've seen his site before and it looks like a good quality build despite incorporating some GRP body parts. I've not seen one in the flesh but would very much like to.
The BRA trike which I think inspired this was a close second for me when was looking but I went for the Pembleton instead as, among other reasons, there was more sheetmetal work to tickle my fancy.
I also find FWD is far superior on a trike and I believe Mr. BSA did a better job than Mr. Morgan who shamelessly copied the BSA with his F-types.
Enough sparks....?
