The "Project"

Why are all you guys swinging from his nuts? I don't get it?

It's the girl you can't get. You want more, but the clothes stay on.


Also, in the end we will get the schematics for a working smell-a-vision TV set!

So many amazing jokes to be made about smell-a-vision but most are too offensive for RDC.

What is the wall thickness of the lower arms?......And any updates?

[FABRICATOR]

The info in green refers to the upper arms. The lowers are one piece and are .120" wall with Delrin bushings. Of course what allows them to be simple is that the shocks are not trying to bend them in the middle. You could call them "85" arms because they require about 85% less design and stress analysis time, 85% less fabrication work, weigh about 85% less, and cost about 85% less, with no loss in supportive strength. In most catagories, the 85 number is an understatement. They are remarkably simple, light, strong, and economical.

Also simple and economical is the skeletal jig that holds the parts for all four front control arms. This type of jig has the ability to hold things with reliable precision and repeatability. This one is simply dedicated to this chassis. I used shop clamps during assembly, but if it were used for repeat work, clamps would be built in. It is simple, reliable, accurate, portable, compact, upgradable, expandable, and very inexpensive.

There are no “J" arms. The lens makes this upper arm look longer than it really is. Not much in the way of updates but lots more tidbits. Cheers
