I'm feeling a bit slow: does the rear mount not have a rotational point, or spot where it can angle? I have no idea how you're going to manage an upper mount (or more than one?), but then five minutes ago I didn't know what a heim joint was. This thread is fantastic, keep up the great work!

sofullofhate posted:Thanks! Unfortunately when I looked at it hard enough it became obvious that a leaner setup wasn't going to work. It will be a rigid 3-point mount (4 if I can figure out a 4th) - third point will go from the sidecar fore/aft external rail to the rear seat support frame section (the ~45 degree section aft of the rider's right foot). In this setup, the heim joints just give me some toe and pitch adjustment for the sidecar, and also provide some adjustability to make up for some of my fabrication slop (there's definitely some fabrication slop...) Ah, nuts. I was hoping you'd figured something out. In my head, I just can't sort out how to both allow for lean and keep the side car from being dangerously floppy. Rigid mount is definitely the way to go, even if you have to re-learn how to turn. And this project is already very cool. Keep on.
