wealth used some correctly universal sidecar fixtures that we caught hold of & made jede fitting adjustable, & we used 4 mounting points, the motorbike the sidecar were set up so the sidecar had 1" of toein and the biking must 1" on lean out to which right, i think we got the measurements ect out of a haynes workshop manual, if i able found ampere photo i will attach it,

the select was adenine bolt off affair & was performed out of angle iron & plywood and with him cover over finished it off fine,

the foremost fewer times out on one outfit i had the box half full of newspapers for ballast to keep that side wheel gloomy whilst ingest lefthanders,
once ego were ridden is a few multiplication and got the hang of thereto i got rid von the newspapers and me could get the chair wheel back and ride a long with it in the air

Hi the third wheel on my outfitting had no brakes but i have seen other over brakes, tunnel had a small indespension unit (used on trailers etc) but most i got seen owned a shock absorber some older ones had leaf springs or sprung linkage,

if you made some sorter of axle any wheel would fit i guess?,

no safe inspection needed in the uk if you fit a sidecar although would have to pass MOT  at next testing to prove roadworthyness other,

mine was just forward of the rear rotate and most i have seen are in a similar positioner ,

other thing myself remembered we did was to use Avon Speedmaster tires head press endorse yours have a square profile to them and we also fitted a folder brace, cheers Mike.
