Taper on sidecar fixings?

[berniejones]

Could anyone help me with info on the taper of the sidecar fixings on the SQ4 please?
I have a few assorted spigots that have either the wrong taper or are square shouldered so hope to turn some down to the right angle.

Thanks,
Bernie

Hi Bernie, I'm not aware of any tapered lugs on an Anstey frame. I've only removed fittings, though, never attached a sidecar.

If there are tapers in the fittings, I think that will be fittings/sidecar manufacturer dependent.

I may be proved wrong!

Bernie , the frame lugs are not tapered and I just checked my stash of Ariel fittings and none are tapered , a good source of fittings is a guy quite near you , in Happisburgh Norfolk called grandfathers collection he is on Ebay , apparently he bought up tons of Panther ,sidecar and other m/c spares, and if you collect stamps he is a stamp dealer too , you may already know of him

Thanks - you're both right of course.

I'd looked through the front mount expecting to see a taper and a build-up of powder coat let me see what wasn't there!

I guess that makes complete sense if you want to be able to mount the chair on either side....

I will seek out grandfather's collection!

Cheers,
Bernie
