Fair enough, least its a known brand, and not made of toffee.. like some questionable trolley jacks

Me "Doddy.. is the wheel on the jack supposed to be sideways?"
You "huh?"
Me "yeeeah.. its f*cked.. (I keep lifting).. Still works though"
You "meh"


Still works to this day.. True story.

[Dean]

not just the wheel... the whole lifting mechanism goes sideways..

Used this site :: http://www.random-science-tools.com/phys...s/tube.htm

calculated the overall frame length added 2m on the top. Frame comes out at 44kg. .. Not bad.

Add on engine.gear box. wheels, hubs. more linkages for steering ect.. seats.....

1.5" pipe 3mm wall. 17m of tube. some of would be 1 - 1.25 " pipe

God no I dont have the patience .. I'd end up throwing it around the garage... as per.

I'll put a tenner on man with angle grinder being faster than that tube notcher

Deal.


Wait


Make it the cost of the notcher... and Deal.

Sweet, when you sending my cheque?

Damn it.

[Wor Jimmy]

Getting there with the frame. still needs cross members for strength.

And all the sizes are probs wrong lol. once i measure up the engine and seating pos i will crack on. What's the biggest width road tyre i should fit at the back i wonder? i was thinking a porsche rear wheel.

[Grant]

Are you going live rear axele'd too?!


Would be fapping epic!!!

[Dean]

I have a spare seat

[Wor Jimmy]

3 wheel drive? I dont know if i can? 4 wheel drive gearbox? mod the shaft..

Getting the ratio to 1:1 might be a pig?

Putting idea in my head.. you bastar.d

[Martin306]

Just change the tyre size until the ratio is right

[Wor Jimmy]

Is there a 4 fwd gearbox that fits on to a XUD?

Erm.. Fuel tank?

From the AutoCad pic you put up, it looks like the rear wheels are connected with 1 'shaft' so as to speak. No differential or anything. Making it a live rear axle. Would be an epic drift trike :p but a PITA in normal driving haha

[Dean]

Thats the front wheels, its a reverse trike

[Grant]

Ah right, well now I'm lost. I'm guessing that front axle is not staying there then?

[THE_Liam]

I'd be tempted to start with a whole front subframe...

[Wor Jimmy]

I really should clear this up lol.
Bare with
ok in the picture.. single wheel is the rear..
Front axle type thing was a reference point for me (oops)
I'll upload pics of what i am buying off danny2009 tomorrow.

"I'd be tempted to start with a whole front subframe..." I'm getting hubs, drive shafts, steering rack, engine, gbox, alt, starter, ect.
making the wishbones ect..

2 Wheels at the front. 1 at the rear.
engine is in the front (small width of the frame)
dual seat to sit 2 people

[Martin306]

Well, you could fit an LDV gearbox, then a transfer case from a 4x4, which can feed a diff at the front then drive to the rear.

I'm going to make it 2 fwd. then after its built and tested. i might mod it a little for rear wheel drive too lol

[Martin306]

What about rear engined front wheel drive, then you can brag about how much power it has because you can spin the wheels in 5th

I'd rather get around corners

[306Dan]

enough talking get building

[Wor Jimmy]

Give me a chance.. This is the view so far from the FRONT. Front engined ftw.

Its now the correct height from the floor, and the right tilt (30 degrees?) so the top of the inlet flat spot is level to the floor
[attachment=13285]

Mock up of seating position

[attachment=13288]

[Wor Jimmy]

Parts needed :
Fuel pump.
Injectors.
Starter.

[Wor Jimmy]

Finished!

[306Dan]

You put the steering wheel in the wrong side you dope :p

[Martin306]

Nice! except that trike is rear wheel drive do not want.

[Wor Jimmy]

You put the steering wheel in the wrong side you dope :p

Also its a v8.. Damn it,

Dont mind me.. just carrying some of the material for the frame back from work....
