Four pieces of steel channel ½ inch by 2” by 36”. The one on the left is actually two pieces of 1” angle iron welded together because I could only find 3 pieces of 2” channel in town. All of them were bought from Tractor Supply Co. (about $15 each).

Optional – several pieces of ½ inch by 2 inch by 3 feet steel channel. These will be used to bolster the strength of the four 2” pieces in certain places such as the axle mounting plates. Of course, this is up to you. (You grind down the legs a little and weld them on the other side of the 2” pieces).

Two half torsion axles (adjustable),

Two half torsion axles (adjustable), 425 lbs capacity. I bought the lightest capacity they had because I didn’t want the suspension to end up being to stiff. I bought them online from 

Southwest Wheel in Dallas. (Dang, I should have had Earl run by there to pick them up). The two of them cost $225. You might be able to get them locally from a trailer dealer a little cheaper. I think Northern Tool also sells them.

Two 4” by 8” wheels and tires from Southwest Wheel. About $25 each. Also sold by Harbor Freight and other, including Tractor Supply. Just make sure that the wheels are matched to your axles (in my case, four bolt on a 4” mounting circle).

Two Fenders from Tractor Supply, about $15 each. These were rather thin plastic. I didn’t want the bigger or heavier metal ones. Sure wish they had them in fiberglass. Hope they can be painted, cause they have a slick finish and I don’t like white.

Three pieces of ¼ inch by 4” by 12” steel plate. One piece will be used to make four corner gussets and 1 will be used as mounting plates for the axles. You probably won’t need the other piece, but it’s always good to have a spare. About $18 each at Lowes. I thought that my 14” cut-off saw would zip through that ¼ inch steel plate, but no go. I ended up using one of my favorite toys, the angle grinder

Two brackets from Lowes, about $3or $4 each. These will be cut in two pieces, as shown. The part with the two holes will be used as a mounting bracket at the front of the trike frame to the center stand.
