here is the formula for blade calculation provided by Mr. Hudgins. Cantilever Beam Slope and Deflection Calculation for Load at Free End Slope at free end = PL2 / 2EI Deflection at any section = Px2(3L-x) / 6EI Where, P is the externally applied load, E is the Elastic Modulus, I is the Area...

Jason, here is their website with detailed information. to go any further you should contact the builder or designer, it is possible there are some type of propriety rights. JBL home page they do show 83# full flat with 1" deflection, and 1200# full firm with 1" deflection under...

i thought this was interesting from racecar engineering, also reducing shift time from 200-250 milliseconds to 30-50. especially like the last paragraph. Some people tell me that F1 would be better if the drivers still used stick shifts, but that’s a bit like saying, “isn’t it a pity we don’t...

Very nice work! Just an fyi, re: sway bar, the JBl cobra uses the blade type sway bar with electronic adjustment and LED indicator in the cockpit, something to peruse and very compact. The blades look the same size as the one you are using, I don't know how putting all the forces through one...

i think the long list above is probably meaningless without the supporting data of how the numbers were arrived at. since i am vested in a jbl cobra, i looked at their website and this is what was given for a very well designed open top chassis using sheer panels. under design goals--...

i use a 4 post lift and wouldn't want to be without it. also have a hydraulic transmission lift that works well, by placing under the car on the lift you can drop the car on it and remove tires, etc. very long and low floor jack. these are the big purchases, everything else is easy and...

on another forum guys are discussing the undersized lifters that are being produced by aftermarket suppliers and oversized lifter bores causing noise, also might be a possibility.

my jbl cobra uses the heim joints 100%, very precise handling and soft ride. at one time there were soft production rubber in the rear t bird uprights and the tire squirm was scary under braking, couldn't use the harder poly bushings because of what fran alludes to in his previous post about...

exhaust manifold leak will sometimes tick like that.

i was visiting an aircraft surplus supply house locally and they had whole cow hides for finishing whatever i guess, $135 each, and they had 2200 of them, so if anybody is looking they might want to consider. i see some of you are considering upholstery or dash work, so thought i would post...

in the past i have ran a string down the centerline of a chassis which should be your thrust line, take a level and put it across the rear tires across the axle horizontally and on the outside and use a bungy cord to hold it on, drop a plumb line off the level at the front and rear of the tire...

haha funny dean, i was really spying on that fine machine. hope you got everything worked out.. sounds like you ended well.

yup, had to back and look cause i posted on another forum, on 1/12/12 i posted jegs had the ct525 for $6700, summit was $8800, so i was a little in error, maybe in the price also but i thought i saw it for less prior.

funny, summit was selling this same engine for less than $6500, then the next catalog it went up, and again went up at the next catalog, with warranty from gm. makes me wonder if gm moving up the ladder on their production cars had some left over inventory. these price jumps all happened...

guy on another forum did some (lots) of oil tests, would heat the oil and use a ball bearing and whatever to test film strength, etc. did the add zddp thing with some of the oil, and it had the opposite effect or no effect, but was not helpful in a significant amount of the samples. i had...

you're probably too far into it now, but dailey engineering makes some really nice compact dry sump stuff with different configurations, and great to work with. Dry Sump Oil Pumps

if you don't mind me asking and i don't want to get the thread off track, but that seems quite a bit of caster at the rear, what are the benefits and how is it measured? thanks.

interesting, i had a accel gen 7 setup with the dual sync dist., and when i removed it after much frustration there was a couple pieces loose inside the distributor, sent it back and they repaired, not under warranty though. you could always run batch fire without the dual sync, i consulted...

that is what i figured, thanks fran.
