... I found <kitcaranalysis.doc> in there, which suggests a sheet driveshaft tunnel, and some mods to the front end bracing, will more than double the...
Jack: I infer from your post that you have made and tested at least one previous chassis. If so, what was the stiffness? I would like to know because there ...
Bill, I think that for a honeycomb structure to work as it should, all of it has to be attached to the cover sheets. Can you spare to lose 2" of foot well...
... Good inferring! It was over 30 years ago, when I was first trying my hand at this design stuff. I thought I could build a greatly simplified Formula V ...
kitcaranalysis.doc is the result of FEA by Cymtriks There is another document http://f4.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/UMhXRDKyHIOMcNCWoc5h6W6xFyGlfNJoWRYiJMo9 ...
... Understandibly, there are questions re "analysis" and "conclusions" with THAT document. Sadly, to me it seems an errr.. 'copy' of the Real Thesis work I ...
... Gosh Bare, it's not like you to go off half-cocked criticising something you don't know the facts on. As Bryan pointed out, <kitcaranalysis.doc> was...

I have done some rudimentary investigation into the torsional stiffness of the Seven chassis. This was accomplished by standing with one foot on the top of...
Esko: You are absolutely right about the honeycomb must be bonded to each covering panel. And the loss of footwell room is a real issue. My plan was to make a ...
Hi Bill, I was thinking, Two places you might try for honeycomb panels. they are used both in Aviation in interiors and cargo containers, and also in Marine...
John: Great Ideas. I work in Medley and have gone to Simmons many times - I never thought to ask about honeycomb! Thanks again. Bill Box John wrote: Two places...
Possibly BUT I have read both.. The earlier Thesis work was competently done, all the Parameters of the study were clearly laid out the methodology quantifieed...
... That indeed sounds competent. I read the 1st doc I found and asked if there was another with the very features you describe, and I gathered that indeed...
Jack, My analysis was done about seven years ago now, I posted my early results on here. kitcaranalysis was originally a cut and paste of my own notes and the...
Good to hear from you Cymtriks. You don't know me, but I feel much better informed reading your input over the years. I agree that your approach neatly...
Dominic, I've posted a response to Jack above. You are right, my work is not associated with Wesley's at all, in fact my work may have been first online, I...
Good thing that Crisis was 'cleared up' :-) I retain some passing curiosity though; If one were designing the engine mountings of a Europlane.. as opposed to...
I was side traked by an expanding family requiring that I buy a bigger house, other family issue such as my mum's illness and work. At first I thought that the...
Would you seriously expect me to make jet engines in my spare time! There is a pulse jet site somewhere which has jet cars and plans for a home made cruise...
OK, looks fun - to make road legal (assuming you're in the UK) you'll need approved road tyres (the smallest I know of are Mini 10"), mudguards, full lights at...
... Anything is possible (it just depends on how much work you are willing to put in and some things are necessary). It would probably be easier to make...
Can someone explain to me how in the UK we can have road legal Quad bikes? They certainly have <10" wheels etc. Looking at one the other day, the SVA must be a...
... Because they are bikes and not cars? There is a street legal gokart called Street-kart FLO-100, but it's registered as a four wheel motorcycle. See...
The wheel size does not matter as long as the tyres are approved for road use. Road tyres are a lot more expensive but they are available. Road kits are...
Dennis Hi I was just going though my old e-mail and read your posting. two questions did you ever get the Lotus 23 drawings post on your web Site, and what is...
