mounting center bearing
when fitting my center bearing on my prop shaft, can i place a 3mm plate from tt2 to tt3 as a mounting brackett?
|
any ideas?

You should not need the center bearing, the prop is usualy done as a single section unit.

right, yes you would probably need it.
the front part of the shaft is normaly running in the same axis as the geabox output with as little deveation from this as possible to prevent strain on the dog chew and avoid unwanted vibrations. TT |
ok cheers, so could i put a plate straight across from rails tt1 to tt2. or have i got to do a little plate either side? obviously its to mount the center bearing

Not got my book to hand, remember that in the donor the bearing is Above the mounting point.

Depending on the position of the bearing in the prop you could put a plate across between TT2 & TT3( like the original book spec gearbox mount position) or across between the 2 TT1 tubes, If poss try to raise the bearing so that it isn,t below the bottom face of the lower chassis rails, ( tho I presume that depends on the height of the gearbox output shaft position ) . Also give thought to the routing of the fuel lines/brake lines & electrics when passing the bearing carrier, as fuel & electrics need to be spaced apart as much as possible. hope this helps cheers andy |

Might also be worth fitting a "safety loop" further down the trans tunnel ( near to the seat area) just in case the prop decides to let go. cheers andy |
