not sure if it will work, but i think the diff may not be connected and theres a chain driven sprocket inside the diff instead of the diff

wouldn't you just weld it all upright so you've only got one wheel to provide a turning force so your gonna make it worse by welding the diff up aswell :confused:

Tons of trikes run fixed rear axel with no problems.

Morris marina axel is favoured so I'm told.

Dads mate has afew trikes and bikes, builds rover v ones lol

The diff won't actually be doing anything, the drive would be coming from a sprocket attached to an output shaft, if the diff was going to be used, the other wheel would turn the wrong way

WRONG

what they do is fit a shaft drive to a reliant back axle or similar,

or they get a chain drive diff.. which can be bought


the marina axle is way too wide

so the original diff either won't be there or will be converted?
