Muncie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Heavy compared to bike wheels tho!just the space saver tyres on the bike rims pretty sure larger cars like BMWs run a 17 inch spacey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 they wont be suited to being mounted to a bike rim though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JR Posted June 13, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2015 Another small update. Good news = We had a healthy baby girl. Bad news = Garage time is pretty low for now... I'm on the home straight, the last of the planks have very little bending to be done, shouldn't take too much longer... 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JR Posted July 9, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have been dreading cutting the cockpit out... I only have one chance at getting it right.... I'm happy enough with it. I drew about 20 different lines before cutting this one. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That ackerman angle looks quite extreme in the photos? could just be the angle of the photo though... but DAMN that looks good! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, your right, it does look extreme there. It's just the pics though. The line extended from the pivot point to the hole points to the centre of the axle Cheers, starting to take shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JR Posted July 16, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2015 I was going to steam some strips of pine to bend around the cockpit cut out for reinforcment but on a test piece the MDF turned to soup when the wet wood went near it. (Im hoping the fiberglass will weather proof it enough.) So I just cut it up into a bazilion bits to follow the contour, It added a suprising amount of rigidity. I cut the bonnet out and added a bit more stiffness to this too. I started making the pedal box today, it goes beside the engine. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
