Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Chris, I was sort of thinking the same thing about the flexy thing. I wonder if he messed up a decimal place and they came in bent by 0.030 and not 0.003, though that would be quite a lot for a shaft to later be used in a gear train.

I think I had an intelligent response to the "it will bend 8" and barely deform" comment.

I think everyone needs to stop posting in that thread so he doesn't feel overwhelmed.

We don't need 10 different engineers telling him 10 different ways that his arms suck.

It's pretty simple.

this is why I haven't posted anything... but it IS only 3 engineers right now :lecture:

I've already told him every problem I see with them via either PM or other threads, also. No hard numbers, just my gut feeling on material strength which usually ends up being slightly conservative.

As an engineer, I don't care if he feels overwhelmed. As a member, I don't want to put him in that position.

His setup looks pretty good, if he'd just beef up the links and joints. It is pretty simple, I agree. So why doesn't he see it?

Electrical house wise? Ok.
Electrical automotive wise? Anything beyond the basics is Ken's deal.

I'm not sure if we are headed out on the sleds or not. If not, you are welcome to swing down tonight we'll probably be hanging out in the barn or shooting pool. Although you probably have work to get done on the XJ.

Depends on if my schedule has been made for me or not if you get my drift. I'll call you later.

Oh yeah, I didn't get sh*t done on mine this week :loser:

I might help fix Scotty's friend's truck tonight... He helped out on my VW and it would be only fair. He just blew a brake line. Should be an easy fix.

XXXX that thread, I still want him to go back to the one from 5 days ago.

So far he's doing a decent job of digging his own hole.

No comment on the first part, it wasn't meant to start an argument.

His setup is crap all over, are you serious?

Non-boxed 1/4" LCA mounts, non-reinforced belly pan, and non boxed UCA mount.

Naw I wasn't trying to argue with you there either. If it came across that way, my bad.

I guess if you're welding a kit together, you'd know enough to take the time to box in the mounts? But then again, if you're buying a kit, it should come with all the parts to assemble it completely and have it work. A good kit would anyway.

I will admit, I thought his belly pan was boxed or at least thicker like your old TNT... mah b again.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

who has a scoobie powered buggie?

 

[MoparManiac]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

TNT is only 3/16" I believe, but was braced on the backside in multiple spots and supported on the sides with L-brackets and through bolts that were sleeved through the frame.

His is 1/4" with no supports at all. Just like 45* upward bends at each end. It's too long/wide for those bends to help at all.

Those LCA mounts wouldn't last one trip out. They'd be mangled.
