Corrected.

I have a unit from (200amp DC): Inverter TIG MIG ARC Welder Welding Machines Tokentools sales service Australia wide Which probably aren't available under the same brand in the USA. I point this out as I would expect these to be labelled as 'Cheap Chinese crap'. However mines roughly 4 years...

Git! :thumbsup:

Hi Fred, I have to agree with Chris you are so close don't give up now! Patience and enthusiasm wax and wane, walk away from it for a bit eventually it'll drag you back.

There's two things that in the last 10 or so years have made welding in general so much easier for the hobbyist... 1. The reduction in cost and ready availability of current regulated welding machines. 2. The ready availability of cheap - safe auto darkening welding helmets. So to my...

I've shared standard parts I've modelled with people that have asked for them, however I am reluctant to share original work due to it not proven yet and also liability issues worry, me. On formats, STEP I am convinced is the best way to go, but I'm not sure if all CAD software can produce this...

Link please.

One thing to consider looking at modern LMP cars is a good deal of the aero shape is internal, so retrofitting that type of body to a chassis without the internals to match will not give you the same results as the original. For example from what I can tell the entire front end aero is now...

Hi Integrator, What torsional rigidity figures are you getting i.e. nm per degree of twist? Looking at the stress movie some cross bracing would stiffen things up a lot, its pretty clear where the squares are deforming.

For some reason The Paddock has shown up again when I hit the 'new posts' button. No matter I should be able to fix that easily enough. But as a result I got suckered into reading some of the crap posted in this part of the site. Wow, there's some angry dudes out there! I think some of you...

When I supply the DXF files I can get parts turned around in 2 or 3 days here. This is for laser cutting, they can to up to 10mm steel, there's a min order of A$60, which buys a lot of steel. If I did not supply the CAD data then I would expect it to cost way more money and take way longer to...

Hi Leopold, I just looked at this thread yesterday and had to post... This is amazingly awesome work, I thought that I was making a decent attempt at doing things 'properly' but you've ratcheted up the bar by orders of magnitude. Big respect.

From the NCOP's which are gradually being adopted by all states it appears... "1 SAFETY The majority of internal roll-bars or roll-cages were originally designed for use in competition vehicles where the driver and any passengers are required to wear helmets. In normal road use, occupants...

Hi David, I ride a motorcycle to work most days and have done so for most of the last 25 years. It is an an activity that has inherently more risk than most other forms of travel, point is not to avoid doing something you love but to mitigate as much of the risk as is reasonable without...

I realize that all self built or kit cars are going to be behind production cars in terms of 'active safety' gizmos i.e. airbags, abs, etc however hopefully on the 'passive safety' front i.e. steering and braking to get out of trouble in the first place they may have an advantage. What I've...

This is part of the Global Racing Engine initiative. Expect these engines in various guises to appear in different forms of motor sport. AUTO-RACING - INDYCAR: Inside The Global Racing Engine - I for one will love to see the turbo's back as a kid I got to see them in 1980's I might be...

I wouldn't buy anything Vincent of any value without talking the the HRD owners club first. Its world wide and between them they've pretty much got the goods on anything that ever came out of Stevenage.

Redundant anything in any aircraft means extra weight and whatever the aircraft type weight is fought with missionary zeal. If you look at any aircraft they're designed to a max condition (load + g-load, etc) and then there's a factor of safety added onto that. The factor of safety BTW is...

To chime in on the Airbus v Boeing. Firstly if you think the USA is not massively subsidizing its aerospace industry then you've got rocks in your head. One way or another via NASA and military spending it gets done, Airbus and Europe are just a bit more obvious about it. Then there was...

Driver looks good. Maybe he should be a bit more period? Moustache and a open face helmet? I was going to suggest that he be a like current 40 owner but that might not be that attractive. This is after all a fantasy ;) BTW huge respect for learning Maya, I tried it once or twice and...
