Front end and suspension stuff, including VooDoo, Black magic and other engineering principals

Aw come on. Juggle multiple project simultaneously. What could possibly go wrong?

Aw come on. Juggle multiple project simultaneously.

Yeah yeah I do that now! Of the 493 items on "my list" there are 9 currently being juggled, 14 more are staged and ready and the balance are in the "round toit" category.

That last tube video looks great!!

 

[Master Hack]

Thanks! Getting serious about finishin up. Deadline approaching....

 

[Master Hack]

Made some progress on the front end stuff. Right side is 90% just need a hub, and a wheel flange, and a caliper bracket and some paint, oh and some bronze bushings and some good bolts, maybe a steering dampener. OK forget the 90% BS.
So for the first time on the world wide stage, in front of millions, the one....

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Thats an interesting way to do it.

How's the arc interaction?

 

[Master Hack]

How's the arc interaction

Huh?
I was happy it went together, works without binding up, then ya bring up this technical shyt! Now l have something else to keep me up all night.
Naw, it actually works well. The red arc is nothing significant. In fact l didn't notice anything, til ya brought it up, thanks. Now l gotta look closer. Whatever goes on there is not enough to bind the heim on the chassis end. The caster angle can be adjusted by the length of that rod.
l need to get it on its feet and figger out ride height and upper shock mounts, yada yada yada. All the shyt ya gotta figger out when ya only have half a set of plans and a few pix.
lt looks like it should work fine within the 12" of available travel.
Lotsa empherical engineering went into this mobile scrap heap!

 

[Bansil]

Atleast you have plans

 

[Bansil]

My plans tonight



Atleast I recycled

 

[Master Hack]

You have a computer. I just have the cardboard.
l know how the cardboard works.

Dude...kids+youtube, we are the superior age

 

[Master Hack]

Dude...kids+youtube, we are the superior age

No doubt. We didn't have you tube universary, or computers for that matter.
Yet l know things. That may be the only positive thing about getting old.
So dude l offer this bit of wisdom, enjoy it while ya can.

 

[Bansil]

My hat is tipped Sir'

 

[Master Hack]

I got the front end put together. Set the ride height, inspected everything to make sure things move up and down, turn left and right without parts colliding, rubbing, binding or falling off. All is good so far, now l'll take it apart and paint it and make some hubs. Maybe first test drive, next....
time the weather permits.

 

[Master Hack]

I’m working on some steering adjustments, set angles etc. l think l’ve figgered out this Ackerman guy was a fraud. I’ve made big improvements to that stuff so
from here on out it should be referred to as “ Hackerman”!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

F1 uses anti Ackerman. So throw out what you thought was right.

 

[Master Hack]

So throw out what you thought was right.

What makes you think, I think anything is right?

 

[Master Hack]

On this episode of front end stuff and all that BS in the title, we make hubs and fit em up. pics are self explanatory, unless they are not, then ask, and we will fake an answer.
this is near completion for this little upgrade. Next l take it all apart and paint it. After that we will adjust all that technical shyt after paint.
Anyone that has built anything knows problems, mistakes and improvements only become obvious after paint is applied. The fix almost always requires grinding, cutting, welding and other paint destroying processes.
without further BS here are the pictures you have demanded. Thanks to my fans!
both of ya!

Are those Kevin’s hubs? Do we need to call the patent police?

 

[Master Hack]

Are those Kevin’s hubs?

I ain't sayin, one way or the other.
