Ned Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Guess who now has 11 properly cleaned running engines!? Finally put the final 6 carbs back together today and all 11 engines run now. Dave is drunk, but he told me he would help me mount the fuckers etc... maybe even tomorrow so we'll see. Also, 5 of them are now sporting 10 tooth 1/2" pitch massive sprockets; 1 Quote
felixx Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I cannot wait to see this machine in action! Quote
Ned Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks guys! Got some more machining done. Dave welded up my sprockets so we could put a 10.8mm hole in it for the shaft, so thats done (thanks cam + dave) And then cam drew up my mounting plates so i can get dave to cut them out for me when i go to his work tomorrow So hopefully i can mount them this weekend when i find/make appropriate spacers for the plates! Then just make up some shafts for the main sprocket and the random one at the front, and get a correct size sprocket for the first reduction drive and i'll be able to put it together and maybe even fire it up! Then source a centrifugal clutch and make 10 throtle linkages and she'll be ready to create a frame around. Plenty more work to do, but velodroming is going to be mega awesome! Quote
kicker Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Looking good, some serious progress being made I was looking at clutches and found these, they make them for your application, may be of use. http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/other/auction-414360456.htm Quote
Ned Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Dave and Stephen use these so was thinking of using the same ones really. Quote
Brock-Lee Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Get solidworks to tell you how much that weighs. It looks heavy as hell. I just had to input the word 'hell' into my predictive. I think my phone is full retard. Quote
Ned Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 URL fixed; didn't know that was the same place haha; not caring how much it weighs (weighs is a funny looking word) weight won't stop it from doing b-outs Also; i may put it some speed hole/slots at some point when/if i can be bothered. It's about 850 long and 200 tall or something with a lot of holes so 2 or 3kg a plate? rough estimation. Quote
R100 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Thing thing should do 150kmh + if geared right. Will sound amazing ! Quote
keltik Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 The size of testicles required to go above 100 on this death trap would be bad for aerodynamics. 1 Quote
