Wanting to build a Girder??
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2013 5:16 am
I need some insite on building a girderfront end PLESE??
Here is the parts I have and plan!! For what it is worth???
A set of shocks off a Yamaha SR250!
11.5 eyelet to eyelet centers!
Not known spring rate? Pushing down with body wieght I can get 1in movement! I wiegh considerably so guessing 200 to 300 psi rating???
About 2.5 in travel to rubber stops on shock shaft? So around 3in with the stops compressed??
Adjustable!!
Two blocks of Alloy to hopefullly make trees out of!
Somewhat of a plan for the front linkages???
I thank this site and membershere [RueDOG] for helping me with this tool!!!
It has been of great help!!!
One or two designs to play with???
Plan for neck shaft?
Thread the bottom tree and shaft 1in 14tpi and thread shaft to protrude out bottom to put lock nut on!!
Turn the shaft to length of assembly untill out top tree then thread to 1in 14tpi and install a lock nut!!!
Drill and set screw top tree or clamp by splitting aluminum and installing thru bolt??? Not sure if needed?
Questions??
1.I want to use 1/2 grade 8 sholder bolts and cut head off and thread one end so both ends threaded on lathe to bolt thru trees and girder legs and for linkages??
2.I want to run locknut, washer, girder leg, nylon bushing, bronze oilite thrust washer, bronze oilite flange sleave bearing, nylon washer and then tree on bolt???
3.Can I run one shock with this shock?
4.Do I need tofind different shock or just run two?
5.Is the design valid?
6.Do I need to fix top tree to shaft?
Any Help greatly Appreciated!!!
I hate just slapping something toghter without planning it but, I am not scared to have to do it over!!!
