I decide to start a new thread since the Delta is basically all new. The frame is thin wall 1/16" inch and a half square tube. It will be fully enclosed, to that I just picked up 3 four foot by eight foot sheets of yellow coroplast. The frame is just the rear platform which holds the wheels and seat connected to the front boom which holds the crank and pedals and the front forks. Body work will be shaped by 1/2" electrical conduit. I have a conduit bender and it will enable some curves to the body. Just need to sand the zinc coating off before any joints are welded.
So far just the rear platform has been made and mounts for the rear wheels made. It has a direct drive motor right rear and that required mounts to be built for 2 torque arms. Also separate mounts for the rear disc brakes. I used to prefer cardboard for any bracket templates but on this build found a scrap piece of coroplast is way better. Its very easy to use a marker for the general shape then use scissors to finalize it. Any mounting holes such as for brake mounts can be made in the coro by a hole punch and the coro will then take a small bolt. Using this method.
So far the brackets to hold the rear wheels and the disc brakes have been fabbed up. Also the rear direct drive motor needs a torque mount on both sides and they have also been built. I will get a picture up in a couple days.
