Hi Guys,
Righty this will be a work log hopefully :) Feel free to chime in with ideas/suggestions :) Proposed Mounting position: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...1&d=1252120281 Fabricated bracket: https://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7342/crap4193.jpg This is 4mm 5005 aluminium. I could have gone for 3mm or maybe even 2 mm, it doesn't flex at all... Gauge Mounting/Setup: https://img121.imageshack.us/img121/...ropped4375.jpg Cheers D. |
Any idea of the weight that will be placed on the board?
If you can get a weight figure, and approx G-forces then you can calculate the flex. If it were me, i'd screw 2-3 thin cuts of particle board ~5cm wide, just under the width of the board onto the rear of it to give it strength. |
can you use strips of aluminum in a "cross" shape on the back of your sheet to re-enforce it?
|
weight will be:
possibly 2x 5QT tank - 12kg total 1 pump - 3kg total So I reckon 15kg total. Normally driving you would not exceed 1G, however in an accident you might go WAY above that. Yeah I see what you mean, if you can have something coming up from the bottom that will help brace it :) I have contacted a local aluminum fabber, i will see what he thinks too! possibly |
|
ahh yeah...
i was thinking something similar.. even just a thicker brace rather than angle... might see what the guy has lying around... i was thinking some 7075 grade :D hehe |
actually thinking about it:
i think i will try and get the bottom edge bent towards the rear of the car... that should provide the "angle" and add a lot of strength... |

yeh but its requires a different setup on the X :)
|
ok guys I need some advice:
USP 6QT = 41 cm high USP 5QT = 35 cm high Vertical space in the boot is about 47cm Concerning refills do you think going the 5QT is best? Obviously I will still need a LONG hose.. Or do you think go for 6QT given that I have to use a hose anyways.. I was going to go for 2 tanks side-by-side anyways, so its either 10QT or 12QT total... |
I have decided on the 5QT... It will just be easier to deal with when refilling :)
Been talking to Jeff@Howerton about some extra bits'n'bobs to hook up 2 tanks... Should have that soon with some pictures :) |
lol - I changed my mind to the 6QT... I also ordered a cheap pump to make refilling a LOT easier :)
ok all coming together now :) BIG thanks to Jon@HBSpeed for collecting everything and shipping to me in Oz :) |
It appears that you are racing a lot, what is the average duration of each race? I was trying to estimate how long will a 12 quart supply last.
|
well i probably wont race this car... too expensive :) lol
but if I did its about 10 mins a session... |
10 Mins is quite a long race.
