I've been drawing with Wilwood brake calipers. At AP I didn't find anything that fits. Now I used Wilwood DP6A Calipers -six piston- max. what fits in. Disc Diameter 11.00 / 279 mm Disc Width 1.1 / 28 mm So it gets pretty tight, only 1.3 mm space at the ends

@ Lenny - what is the name of such a brake system?

Hello, I'm just thinking about the brake system of my project. I want to use 15" wheels. The car will only moved on the race track. I would like to install a powerful brake system. Could you help me a little with your experience? The issue of brakes can be quite a jungle ....:rolleyes:

good idea!

Hallo Harry, Sind auch ein paar aus Deutschland hier.

Inspired by the idea of JacMac and with the help of dimensional drawings by Bob Putnam here a completely different frame. It is not completely original, but made of 6mm aluminium sheet. Alu honeycomb sandwich is too complicated for me. Maybe less work than a tube frame, especially if the...

what do you think about an Audi R8 manual transmission ? The position of the drive shafts would fit perfectly...

it works with the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader

Neil - You have right-round tubes are lighter and it looks better, but for me too complicated. I've redesigned everything, especially the suspension area, to simplify it. The roll cage is now fully integrated into the main frame. I also tried to install enough bulkheads. Especially at the...

With round tubes about 27% lighter and looks better....

Hi, I've redrawn everything now, starting from a skeleton model. All lines are connected at nodes. I want to use this model in a static analysis program. Almost everything is made of triangles As a test and for illustration I also created the profiles. Looks pretty heavy. There are about 500...

Thank you for your answer! I am also of the opinion that a central tube does not bring so much. But it causes a lot of problems regarding crash safety. @Bob I'm not quite sure what you mean, can you draw a line on the picture to indicate which area you mean? Thanks a lot!

Looks perfect!

I've taken some of your suggestions on board now. I also had a good conversation with a car designer. It was hard to make the foot space as big as necessary despite the long R8 wishbones. we have also tried to consider the crash zone issue. Everything not so simple.... Now I'll see what the...
