krazyk Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi guys I wrote about this a couple of months ago, the last one went to Zigzag. I was lucky enough to get about 30 kilos of Bosch ally profile and then ordered the wheel balance shaft and bearing part from Ricambi-weiss (ebay) the tubing is 30mm square which just leaves enough room for a 10mm nut to be brazed into place.

Timbo S2 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 That looks the part, much better than my workbench, paddock stand and tie strap solution. Safer too, I'd wager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had a moped wheel on to test it free standing but its stable. I can also move the side bits to the upright and then drop it in the workmate.

Mark/Foggy Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hey Berndt, you can't use fisbee's as brake discs no matter how light weight you are. Been on the cooking Vino again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo S2 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yep, I'd be interested too... Otherwise i'll be making one out of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mark, how´s your italian by now? As you might remember from that sunday evening after-workshop-pub-kitchen sit-in I had none of those countless bottles opened that night! As for the brakes they are prototype carbon ultra lightweight weave compound thingys where you can have your favourite brandname/sponsor/kitty woven into the fabric, but I am not allowed to talk about it at this early project stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark/Foggy Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Berndt, you know they'll all speak English in the end! I'm looking forward to Bol, can't be worse than Le Mans, that was a fookin shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strappy Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 That looks the part, much better than my workbench, paddock stand and tie strap solution. Safer too, I'd wager... If you want it to be safer, put it on the floor. Worked fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo S2 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah, mine wouldn't work on the floor... But thanks to krazyk, I now have a nice neat solution that works without dismantling half the garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
