track rod extensions (PLANS)
 

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?

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

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

Twin

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.

Thanx TK your a star :D

Cracking drawing that one TK nice simple,accurate response

Hows the build going Arf?

No problem gents, I'm more than happy to help.

TK

The deed is done....



Thanx TK

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