OK. I get what you're saying. Quick rough model of the 2 bolt flange idea without a mount point for the toe adjustment bar.

I think I understand what you're trying to say now.

1/4" plate sandwiched between 2x 2bolt 1" shaft flange bearings is 3.05 inches. stronger, cheaper, easier to adapt, but only slightly heavier. Are you suggesting putting 2 azusa bearings between 2 flangette clamps?

I am using rod ends at every pivot. 3/8 on the inners, 1/2 on the outers. Theo, you said the outer bearing housing for the rear needs to be machined, but I think I may take 2 flange bearings and bolt them back to back on either side of the plate. flangettes require 2 plates and complicate the...

Oh heck no. very expensive. for instance, streamlined tubing is 3 or 4 x more expensive than chrome moly. The back end will be the same as far as suspension goes. Spring placement might be different, most likely vertical. Because of the light weight I will be putting a honda rebel twin...

Just looking at stuff like this, doesn't it just give you an instant boner and your brain ticking? Because I am cheap I will probably be saving some cash on components such as the rims and tires. maybe some 20 inch ribbed el cheapos. 20 heim joints and threaded weld bungs are expensive! And...

LOL blaz, we are going in a circle again. that picture is single a arm of my first buggy project, hence why I said "for example" when referring to single A arms. :) That buggy was more of a high strength utilitarian deal. Now it's on to beautifully engineered parts and perfection. When you...

Thing is, as stated in the first sentence, it will be for high performance on-road use. Nobody here reads! seems half my posts are to correct people's lack thereof :) Maybe it's a weekend thing I love off road shredding. Not bored of it, just want to do something new. Something that challenges...

Static camber? that's why I said 2 flanges per outer plate. Bolted on opposite sides of 3/16" plate. You think I should go double a arm? Read the thread title. As far as swing arms and single a arms go, they WORK but they don't satisfy me with performance or challenge my engineering. Also, I...

maybe bolting flange bearings to either side of the a arm plate is the best bet. cheap and simple.

a mountable product?

They are mcmaster heavy duty. 185 foot pounds of torque rated universal joints. Braking will be through the jackshaft, so the engine size is less relevant as braking will torque more than any engine.

I like Dave's videos but one thing he is wrong about in this video is the "about 15 degree angle" of the steering arms on the spindles. As most of us already know, the steering arms should be at an angle where it is in the imaginary line from the kingpin to center of rear axle. The angle then...

Well, it has a swingarm, which is garbage.

What I am asking is there a bolt on mountable bearing that doesn't pivot? Those rear single a arms were for a 2 seater buggy i built and jumped, flipped, shredded the hell out of. When finished it had double rear shocks and was braced. Never had any problems with it. As for the video. Scrub...

Dissasembled my big buggy and have loads of parts and am currently collecting more parts and ideas for a f1/indy/formula ford inspired road kart with 4~ inches of road clearance. I already have some heavy duty universal joints for 1 inch keyed axle and was wondering if someone can clue me into...
