Not much to show for the weekend.
Did Woody's homework, tacked in a couple bars around my feet area, welded up a couple more that I was happy with and started shortening some stainless bolts for my rose joints.
All my rose joints will have a plate either side so that the bolt is in double shear, I want the bolts to have straight shank in the first plate, through the rosejoint and at least part of the second plate.
I'm using plated castle nuts as have some bad experiences with stainless to stainless threads even with neverseize.
One of the early pics back from Woody;
Wheel fairings are coming later.
I'm crap at CAD, I can make something in steel quicker than I can draw it on a computer.
I know you can do stress analysis and motion stuff to see if things work but not this little black duck.
My design goes; I need to do this, that looks about right, it's pushing/pulling that way, it moves that way, if it fails it's going to do that, measure, cut, tack, stand back and look and cut various bits of my anatomy depending how it looks.
I am going to do something you can actually see soon, honest....
Cheers
