Finally those uprights that I wrote a post about got finished today.. completely finished. After many hours the final finishing pass to bore out the center for the bearing was completed. The bearings snugly tap in and the snap ring pops right into place in the groove. The setup looks quite impressive with the brake caliper and bottom lugs bolted into place. I'll have to shoot some pictures of everything together.
Also the rear subframe is coming together nicely as well. There's still a lot of small (annoying) things that need to be finished on it, mainly drilling and tapping holes for things. But at the moment the assembly is mounted to the engine with the shocks and springs mounted (and functional!).
Looks over engineered.
ReplyDeleteMany teams have gone to a thin steel sheet metal welded component. Usually half the weight! Seems as though you could use some Carbon Fibre :)
