A more detailed version is on snowest. I figured I may as well post on here as well.

Started out with some ideas in bend tech.





Tube showed up!!



most of the sled is 3/4" .035 wall. the upper pyramid is 1" .049 wall. chassis as calculated by bendtech is just under 30lbs.

First tubes




Should be fun to weld


Initial design


Starting on the tunnel sides


One side almost complete, starting on the second




Mounted to the bulkhead!!








Rear motor mount




The final design on bendtech

Wow! What an undertaking... Impressive!

This is what I want to do some day. 4130 tubes, turbo and a narrow front end.
Will follow this thread.

Very Nice.

 

[MrSled]

Crazy build... looks like lots of work.

 

[whitewheels]

Awesome!

got a little more done on the sled today. I picked up my inner chaincase and started cutting it out of the bulkhead.



still needs a lot more trimming but I think I am going to weld it to a flat alum plate and then mount that to the tubes.


jackshaft placement


alignment bar shows that I am close on the center to center distance. I am going to mount the jackshaft perfectly square to the chassis and then build the engine mounts and make sure to get perfect belt alignment.

Nice ! Keep it up !

 

[kennyspec]

Tacked to my plate



Clearance on the pto side should be ok



Clearance at full shift out

I got the chaincase cut out a bit more and fitting in the engine frame. I think I am going to run a extra tube near the black line to make it more ridgid. The alum sheet is 1/8"





I am welding tabs around the tubes to mount the chaincase plate to. Going to secure it with 3/8" bolts.

I guess my width was off a bit and I originally planned to put the chaincase on the outside of the tubes. But I have to now move the chaincase to fit in the centreline of the tubes. The shitty part of this is that it moves the driveshaft up a 3/4". Do you think this will affect the approach angle that much?



Just another pic of the mounting tabs.

did a little more work on the sled tonight. I got the back tube welded in place and got the chaincase mounted a little more. it is square within .5* as measured with my digital angle guage!! I am happy with how it turned out.
I still need to trim up the steel brackets and grind the slag off to pretty them up.

 

[kennyspec]

Pto side coming along.

 

[kennyspec]

Drivers and the jackshaft is fully mounted!! the chaincase and driveshafts sure feel like they added a lot of weight
I feel like this was one of the harder parts of the build, getting everything square to the chassis. now that I am this far into the build I see I could of designed the shape of the chaincase, clutch hoop tube a lot differently. Maybe the V3 design will be better lol. If I was to build another one I would start with the clutching area tubes and then the motor and then finally build the tunnel.

Great build. Pile O' work. I'm struggling with fabbing just a front suspension, so can't imagine a whole sled.

BTW, where did you get your 4130? Aircraft Spruce Canada or other?

Thanks
