Front undertray

[chris.richard]

Finished my latest project - an undertray for the front made from 2mm aluminium. I was a bit worried about the remote brake servo and its pipes being vulnerable.

And when fitted:

Looking good chris, can I have one in 6mm alloy please or better still carbon.
Can you say if your any close to the elusive Log book

Cheers
Stephen.
PS
Left the Mishnish at 1am this morning not sure if I can handle another session this year

No, I'm not. :mad:

[SUSIT]

No, I'm not. :mad:



Not good :mad: Is it time to bit the buillet spend the big bucks get the angle grinder out and change the motor for 2.5 L !!


Keep going, think of Mull :D :D

[chris.richard]

to be honest Steven, its lack of time as much as anything else!

Chris note that the rose joint at the end of the track control arm should be turned 45° (same mounting as the rear one).

Do you mean like this?

[tryphon]

No I mean like this:

[SUSIT]

Dont think chris has a rose joint on the track control arm, think its a ball joint as you would use on a road car. But I may be very wrong, it has been known.

[tryphon]

Track control arm as in:
Upper control arm (A-arm)
Lower control arm + Track control arm
making up a dual superimposed unequal length wishbone suspension as found in the Stratos front layout.

making up a dual superimposed unequal length wishbone suspension .

I hadn't thought of it like that, but I suppose it is really!

Surely the movement in bump/rebound is purely up and down on the track control arm? Which would mean that it should be orientated as in Tryphon's original (red) setup rather than his Group4 (black) way?

[tryphon]

The rear TCA is also located like this. The rose joint's degree of liberty is sufficient to accomodate the suspension travel.
Look at the rear->do the same in front.

[chris.richard]

Aha! This is an original/replica discrepancy! On the Hawk, the rear one is mounted the other way. This is an old pic of a rubber bush mounted Hawk one - which is why it'll be mounted that way, and the chassis stayed that way when it was changed to rose joint. ;)

[tryphon]

And here's the original (the Hawk one seems to fowl the chassis tube):

[strat6v]

The end of the small box section that the tca fits into (hawk) is scalloped to give clearance. By the time the tca fouled, the hub would be halfway up to the top mount.

[chris.richard]

I think Tryphon means that the bolt is too long on this one
