I'd like to know more about your trike: are those Whirlwind lugs?
If you liked the Italian Eroica you would love the Britannia, probably too late for this year now (its next month).

The Lugs on the trike are from their 'Monsoon' range. I may start a separate thread on vintage trikes and see if I can flush out any other closet 'Barrow Boys'
Just one observation on your build and that is the 'pop' rivets holding on the headbadge, they definitely would not have used them all the ones I have seen have had solid Copper or Alloy rivets also found this pic



not too late to change them to solid rivets - Alan
