Well ...... for the few that could be interested, here's a wee thread about my Sidecar project.
Yes ..... I could just buy one, Watsonian do a pretty good job, but .... I just wanted something that uses modern engineering, and more importantly allows me to take the sidecar off and put it back on again without all the setting up hassle, and as extra, I want one that can be taken off the left side and fitted straight onto the right side.
first pics .............
