Sidecars?

[seymour14]

can't beleave after racing on big tracks year ago that we have had so meany problems on way less laps and smaller tracks

Guess it is not the right rig for the smaller stuff. Food for thought...

i may cut it up

Should be another set coming in a month or so.

Interested in those tyres, from memory they are the same size I originally designed the new chassis around. Will need at least two, possibly 3 (depending on side wheel decision).

Well the tyres are back up for grabs.

We am after $100 for the set of 3. And the fourth is free. That wasn't particularly clear in my fist post. My bad.
Money going to the University of Auckland Formula SAE team, whom the tyres belong to, not me personally.

Although Henk and Rick probably have first right of refusal at this stage.

Will look at the sizes we need and let you know on the day.

Won't fit ours. Pumba lost interest in them, all yours

Does anyone know a reasonably priced purveyor of chrome Molly tube? For one of these, 9/16in is probably ample in strength. Too rigid is as bad as too flimsy after all.

Why chromo? Your chassis should be nowhere near yield stress if you are working to a stiffness target. And chromo is no stiffer than mild.

These guys sell it at a reasonable price. Auckland based though sorry: http://www.afwe.co.nz/index.html

To make it light of course.

I know Scott did some calcs for the proposed IMD250 (SteveB) version2. And the difference between mild and CrMo was about a poo (all be it a big poo)...
Thus extrapolating the calculation outcome for a sidecar, if you both have a poo then mild steel will be fine....
Better off saving weight elsewhere:
Axles and mountings. Covers. Fuel tanks. Radiators, lines, blabla...

Probably not worth the extra cost then.

Depends on what the hillbilly ISO standard poo weighs.

But true. CRMo comes with it's own issues like ability of bending and thickness in common sizes.
But now out of my depth and let the experts fill in the gaps.

Stop dodging, tell us what an international standard poo weighs.

I did some google. Average human poo 317 grams.
