« Last post by iansoady on February 05, 2026, 10:01:52 AM »I'm going to make a box to fit in place of the seat and use surplus patio pavers as ballast - at least in the first iteration. The blocks are a handy size and weigh 2.5kg each so I'll be able to add / remove as my confidence increases / decreases....
My wife refused to ever get in a sidecar again after a horrific trip back from County Durham to Brum at Christmas in the early 1970s. We stopped to try to warm up at a cafe near Derby and it was only thanks to a helpful lorry driver that I could persuade her back in. Can't blame her actually.
Having said that, she has said how pretty the Steib will look. I'm not sure either of us is agile enough to get in it. Or more likely get out.

Or will just be a removable dod of lead ingot?
The down side of the offer is it would need collecting from my humble abode. 🤦
😁Looking good. Look forward to seeing the next instalment 👍
Cheers, Michael

May ask, who is going ballast? Or will just be a removable dod of lead ingot?
All the best, Bill
