hub carriers

[Sankey]

i have gone out and got a granada diff, well complete backend really off a 2.0 L on a J plate, only done 102000 miles aswell for a ton, not bad i thought as they are going to take it all off for me aswell. :D

but silly me didnt relies before that i will need to make, beg, steel, or even pay for some hub carriers. :mad:

set-up is going to be irs, double wishbone parallel link, so require mount at top and bottom, plus pos track control arm.

does anybody have any plans to make some or, as i am new to 100% (top mag by the way) have they been covered in the mag, if so, could you let me know what issue number so i can get hold of one. :confused:

Hi Sankey.

I'm doing my trike frame the same way, wishbone suspension, ect.
I'm only at the stage where i have just got the donor bike and have started making the list of bit's needed, and finding suppliers. :(

I'm also going to use a Sierra/Granada diff, shafts and hubs.
Where did you get your's? and have they got anymore?

I've found a supplier for the wishbones and hangers, after many hours screaming and swearing at the computer. :)

It turns out that the company is just down the road from me, so will be going there in person to check out the goods. :)

Here is the addy

Yeah we've described making all the bits in the mag but if you check out >luegosportscars.com> they will sell you anything you might possible need including a donor axle and shortened half shafts etc.
Get the suspension bushes from them anyhow; as yet we ain't found anyone sustantially cheaper

i got mine from Simpsons scrap (sorry Salvage ) yard in Full Sutton, Yorkshire, 4 left number is 01759 372727

good look with it, looks like i am only one step in front, but many more to go! :cool:

Alik, what issue number for the info on hub carriers?

[Wulfgar_SDL]

Thanks Sankey,

Made a note of the number.

Alik, is luegosportscars.com the place that the parts for the project came from, i've only got part 2 of the build, think it was issue 48.

Sankey,

Just had a thought, are you making your own sub frame or getting it done somewhere.

That's one part i'm realy stuck on, any plans or diagrams?

Wulfgar

No, I made all the parts from scratch for the blue Kwack 1000

[Sankey]

hello walfgar,

i'm going to build my own, dont have any plans but pics will be available as and when (not for a long while though!).

all i know is i know what i dont want, and a fair idea what i do want, but as with all things like this, things change as you go along. but it will all work out rightin the end :confused:

[Wulfgar_SDL]

Know what you mean Sankey,

I've got hold of a bare frame pic of the net and i've been playing about with it trying out differant ideas, ect.

I've started an on going post in chaos tech help, where i will be posting all the info and pics on my build.

I'm hoping to have mine done by next spring, one can but hope. :)

My main problem is lack of welder, so i'm going to have to pay someone to do that for me, or barter of course.

If i've got it right i should not have to much welding apart from the sub-frame,
Going to bolt the sub-frame to the bike frame using the original swingarm and shock mounts, i think i'm going to get the wishbones and other bits from
luegosportscars.com, the one that Alik surgested.

The running gear for the Velocity car seem the best.

Wulfgar, not Walfgar :)
