    question on rivets for seat trampolines

    Rivets are not the problem, it is holding in the pirelli webbing. I would suggest that pop rivets are not the way to go as it "squeezes" the pirelli webbing. Bifurcated rivets with a back up washer would probably be the original method employed.. However, I made a continuous loop and stiched...

    ZFQ Transaxle failure

    FC, only if the pinion bearing is taking the thrust. In a ZF the pinion bearing is a parallel roller bearing and thrust is taken by a ball bearing in the rear cover. ZFQ appears to be similar http://www.lotus30.com/Resources/Articles/ZF_Manual/ZF-5-DS25-Manual.pdf

    Calculating PSI load garage floor

    Calculating PSI load garage floor

    You need to consult a civil/structural Engineer. There are many factors to be taken into account-- The rating of the foam is related to the mass of the slab and the loading that will be applied plus the ground pressure rating beneath the foam. 6" is one hell of a slab for a garage - do you...
