Thanks Guys
Stainless; Goggles is wrong, there was a lot of sooking before i admitted to needing a bit more room, I "need" about 6" for the scope creep the other foot is me already admitting defeat.
Contrary to popular opinion I think short is good for drag, more anoyed about having a parallel section
, lack of planning will do that to you.
Thanks Jim, CAD and Waterjet (with crappy photography skills) can make anyone look good, first time I've used it and seriosly happy with the outcome, had to touch up two pieces with a flap wheel to get the fit i wanted, that was a reflection on my drawing abilities rather than the waterjet operator.
Solidworks told me it would be 12kg with a bias of the weight towards the pivot end, i think its a fair bit lighter than that though, I'll weigh it tonight.
I'm more comfortable working with steel, it has a more predicable failure IMHO opinion too, if the salt Gremlins are kind and I ever get up to a decent pace i think that a lot of the suspension is in the tyre at speed.
Bo; I agree completely, I'm going to have a fair bit of unsprung weight anyway, talking with Greg (Maj on here) and he pointed out that i need to take brakes a bit more seriously, now looks like my rotor will weigh about 9kg.
Thanks Pops; I think we got electrickery thing happening up here now, I looked out the front of my place last night and the telephone ploes looked like they were glowing on top, donchuwuryabout that.
Went down to NSW to catch up with my brother recently and they have phones down there that arent plugged into the wall.
