You can do it without the tools. I have a manual on the 01E and when you read and study what they are asking you to achieve as far as preloads are concerned. Example.... The may ask for a .020" bearing preload, I put in or take out shims so the shaft has end float of say .020" using a dial...

I run 225 and 295. It fits my 40 jim

GO SON. nice work Jim

Dangerous building with out the wheel. My advice and why is pick the wheel offset that you are happy with put a tyre on it. Build your upright so it fits inside the wheel. Place it into position using a line on the floor, then build your arms to the chassis. You start from the outside...

Thanks Tony I would have 50 or 60 G clamps. My wife could never figure out why so many. Hi Marco Thanks for the comments Post 54 was the first up right I made, post 93 was the second. Post 54 was all made of tube steel, I found it was a lot of work and I was not happy with the way...

a hall effect sensor will give you a square wave. You may need to have the same amount of counts as the original, unless you can change it in the software. Jim

If you are buying of Hare and Forbes there are 2 types. The collets in the cheap chuck have 3 slots but are restricted to exact sizes, they work fine as I have used one for years. The other has 6 slots in the collets and adjust over a wider range, these are better as it will generally fit...

You buy alloy splits from White horse ind in Melb. They will bolt in 20x m6 bolts or studs. No welding ,the flange is in the spun halves. Jim

From memory I think its an ER32, but its been a while, the mill is a Hafco HM50 from hare and forbes.

I machined angles across the face,using a few fixed angles as in the angle running into the center is 55deg and the one on the outside edge is 48deg . In cad I drew the cut angles on the profile drawing then that gave me the trajectory entry/exit on the top face and the side face. I use router...

Outers as in rims I presume. Alloy spun, they weight nothing. 13" x 10 on rear 13" x 7.5-8.5 on front It will be on slicks

I mount it to an arbor then do all the profiling on the front. I then turn the arbor around and remount and do all the rear face. The wheel and rim is 5kg. Thats it for the moment, suspension arms and rack after the wheels are done. Jim

Wheels Pic 1 I punch a hole in the billet to center on the table, the 2 outer are just for mounting. Pic 2 face for the arbor. Pic 3 counter bore for the center lock. Where the drive pins go I put 5 m10 threads in instead.

I want center lock wheels because its period, I am happy to forgo spinners for nut just because its practical. The flanges I machined out of 4140 chromemoly, the nuts a 6061 t6. The pin drives will be the heads of m12 alan bolts.

In an earlier post I made sheet metal uprights. The rear I was happy with but the front I never was. I could also see issues fitting the steering arm. With the scrap from the center of the gearbox conversion plate I made 2 front uprights and I had to make caliper brackets as well. The caliper...

Know this I didn't believe, I had to check it twice. I was given a Subaru flywheel for setup purposes. The centre hole was to small so I machined it out to 41mm to suit the Nissan crank. It has the same PCD as the Nissan,With the 33 mm conversion plate the starter and spigot bearing lined up...

Gearbox EBAY $250 Subaru 2.5 lt turbo liberty 5speed. I removed the extension housing ,rear diff ,transfer gears and bined them. The centre housing I have left the shift casting and machined off that that is not required. The bearing hole I will plug, I can buy a splined sleeve that goue...
