Burning Money: In the shop with Scott Racing

Here's a quick calculation assuming PSC cylinders and pumps

Most guys I know with rear steer are changing from 2.5 and or 2.75 to 3" and say the difference is very noticeable. Nothing sucks worse than not being able to steer the way you want to. I'd say if you don't have any rams yet go 3" in the rear at least!

Turbo looks very close to your a pillar "dash" bar. Curious to see what you come up with there.

Yea it's fairly tight. Current plan is to turn the exhaust and go through right in front of brake pedals to dump but subject to change.

Getting close to double the force. Never would of figured that, thanks!

Area of a circle is a power 2 factor. Small difference in radius makes big difference in area.
 
Done a bunch of looking at passenger side alternator brackets for 22r's. No options available but few old pirate threads on people making them. Turns out that a trail gear gm swap bracket will bolt up with some minor voodoo. Will get a picture for those interested. Any of the gm swap brackets that bolt up the same as the trail gear (which should be basically all of them?) would make this easy. I whacked the lower bracket with a bfh for a slight bend then cut the lower bolt hole off it and welded a longer piece to it to catch an original smog pump hole.

Thanks for the tip!! I've been looking at doing this on my build......But I never tried the old bracket. What VOODOO did you have to do and to which side of the bracket? Upper or lower or both?

Sounds like an elitist answer.

I was trying to explain the correlation behind the massive change of force with a small radius change.

As FYI and a little :flipoff2:, just worth mentioning the programming of the NASA computers for the Moon missions were completely done in Metric units and had a converter to display the data in Imperial units in order for people to use the units they were accustomed to. Or at least that's what Google tells me.

That's pretty interesting on the NASA info.

Lower side of the bracket. Will get you a better picture tonight

I tried to laugh but couldn't read this over all the bald eagle screams and constant Skynyrd in my ear.

Hopefully you can see the picture, but this is all I had to do.

Got some links back and installed tonight. Hopefully have motor mount plates tomorrow from a buddy and will be ready to start on that madness.

Got the 300 doubler hung and tacked up and got started on motor mounts before having to quit for the day. Also installed the 3rd member to make sure I wasn't missing a clearance issue somewhere. These buggies aren't typically designed for the amount of up travel this one will have. Waiting on a good prp seat to get here so I can move on to that after drivetrain and shocks are done.

Any opinions on aw4 shifters? Rad designs seems like the go to but I really don't like the design of it. Anybody else still make the winters with solenoids for mvb?

so what did you end up with for link separation on the axle.? like 10 plus inches?
Click to expand...
Lower mounts are on axle centerline/0* at desired caster of 10* and vertical separation ended up right around 10". It's a little tight but nothing like my other buggy. As compared this one has way more room for activities.
 
Make sure you finish welding the threads on that passenger side engine mount bolt. Don't want it falling out. :flipoff2:
 
Got front axle set on bump, seat rear bar flanged and put back, passenger seat mounts in, and got rear axle square tonight. Tried to get rear axle on bump but upper mounts ain't tall enough and links are hitting the bridge :homer:. So much for starting on rear shocks Saturday.

Got the rear upper link mounts cut off and new ones tacked in place. These have to be the ugliest brackets ever from Barnes 4wd, not impressed. After redoing that, the upper links are too short now and living on the edge of pulling the heims out. Got it on full bump and got the shocks all tacked up, still need to make one more tab on the passenger side but they turned out pretty good. The original shock mounts for this chassis wouldn't work at all and a frame tie in had to come out for up travel.

A friend of mine makes a Sami hood I was going to try to use but it's too small. Bummer. New seat should be here today so tomorrow hoping to get it mounted and start on some brake pedals

Glad to see some more progress!

When's the planned outing for it competition wise?

In a perfect world it'll be done by Dayton werock. In reality next year 🤣
