...and surely a gearbox isnt 40kg?!

Have you ever changed a clutch?!

Yeah a number of times, on my own, on a gravel drive.

And Im only 55kg, not the biggest of guys and didnt struggle

[Rippthrough]

6 speed box is definately over 40kg, the 5 speed is about 3-4kg lighter at most. Obviously not including flywheel or clutch weights.

I will weigh the gearbox next time i get in the garage

[Danny2009]

Think the box weighs 38kg I have been told as I was posting one and the courier wouldn't take over 40kg

Front end is slowly coming together
Once i tac weld the frame. Wishbones are next.

Your missing a trick with that back wheel. weld a sprocket to one of the shafts and have 3 wheel drive

[Rippthrough]

Err, just looking at your bushes for the pivots - why have you got no crush tubes?
You're not going to just try to let it pivot on the bolt are you?!

And be very careful using the outer rose joints in shear like that, generally they need to be very oversized to last as the stress concentration across the thread root means the fatigue rate is insane.

Thought about it.. the torque+added load might just snap the chain lol

True on the rose joints, I don't mind altering at a later date.
If you saw the 1.25" Tube i used to demonstrate the fittings for the bushes. its reamed to 25mm, Sliding fit for the bosses that are threaded for the rose joints. I forgot to show it, but they are getting welded on and the boss with slide in. so i can swap it out for a larger drilled/threaded boss. if needed. (probs will now )
Quick pic ::

as for the bushings sleeves, I can sharp stick the bushes back in the lathe. just for now i wanna make sure its going to work. I was going to Drill and tap one side of the brackets M10. Through hole on the other side. so i could side the bolt in.. nip it up snug then put a lock nut on. that way it SHOULD NOT.. need a sleeve (I say that but if it doesnt work.. Thats my problem ) lol...

Cheers for pointing out the rose joint though

[Rippthrough]

You'll need a sleeve, as soon as the bush grabs the joint it'll spin or bend the bolt, and that's not even accounting for any debris or surface corrosion, if you don't have a sleeve that you can torque the bolt up against, your end plates are nowhere near as stiff as they could be and you also have no good way of controlling the end float on the bush without them binding.

[Wor Jimmy]

Sleeves it is then! Lol cheers

Right, Redrilled the bushes 1/2".
I had some 1/2" tube that I drilled out to 10mm (reamed)
Did them 56.1mm long, The bosses with bushes installed are 56mm to prevent over tightening

[Wor Jimmy]

On hold. Working on getting my bike back on the road for summer.

Still buying parts, and doing little odd jobs. but mostly on hold

[Wor Jimmy]
