track rod extensions (PLANS)

[Twin]

Hi peeps,

Just finished my rack clamps :) (blog update to follow)

Does any have an electric copy of the track rod extension plans?

had a quick look in the drawrings & ammendments, but nothing there :(

Thanx in advance!

What do you want to know, you could just ask what size threads and what the basic dims are?

[Twin]

I was just wondering if anyone had the plans to hand!

[AshG]

why do you need plans its a bit of bar with a thread sticking out on one end and a threaded hole in the other end.

[Twin]

Thought someone may have a drawing to work from :-l

Bet your sorry you asked eh?

Lets try this way (as suggested)

What are the thread sizes?

What are the basic dims?

[trick-kit]

I'll do a drawing later for the correctly sized items. It will have to later as i seem to have miscalculated the beer to food ratio a bit :D

Nice 1 TK!

At last an intelligent response! Even after beer!


Unlike:

''why do you need plans its a bit of bar with a thread sticking out on one end and a threaded hole in the other end.''

I am sure that helps! So is a broom handle!
Thought u would know the answer to that one Ash!

I wonder why this forum has gone quiet of late, could it be coz of 'helpful' posts like these? (soon to be deleted)

I have to agree with Leroybrown911

Nice 1 TK!

------------------

As far as i can see Twin asked a perfectly simple question.

A simple and friendly answer would be, as per book on page 76 but the 145mm body length reduced to xxxmm.

i wasn't intending to come across un-helpful its just a pretty simple part to make.

[Twin]

Sorry for being a pain guys, my book is in Chester, by build is in Staffs & i'm in Portsmouth with a free week & access to a lathe. that's the only reason I ask.

Here you go, there are several ways to add flats for the spanner, the drawing shows a hexagon, this can be either end of the 25mm diameter section, or in the middle even. Or you could just machine 2 flats into 25mm bar.

Or just buy hex bar to start with as the rest of the job is just turning.
