DervMafia Eddy Current Dyno Upgrade

[darrenjlobb]

Woah! Fair play buddy! Onwards and upwards

So assuming this will have a proper digital output on this one?

Well depends what you mean by digital output, as the old Clayton was computer logged etc, but this one is 100% fully computer controlled / logged etc, so a much more capable unit overall.

Anyway another update....

Took the bare chassis outside and gave it a good clean off with pressure washer to get rid of all the old grime / grease!




Then i took some time to wire wheel all the covers to tidy them up before paint:




Then started to paint up the covers:



And the air lift:




Then moved onto getting some of this stuff into position, so dropped the new chassis down into the hole, bit of a important moment to make sure the initial measurements were correct!



Then it was time to lift the rollers in and bolt them down / align them with one another. This was fairly tricky as the workshop I am currently using on the farm has a very low roof, so its not possible to get the pallet forks over the hole, so was a case of dropping them in the doorway, and lifting in by hand! Luckily Rhys came over to offer a hand, as would never have moved them 2 of us!



Moment of truth putting top covers on, A - are they  level.... B - are they at the right height with the dyno! Luckily yes on both fronts!



So after spending some time aligning the chassis etc, and thunderbolting it to the floor all around the frame, it was time to put the covers on, and all of a sudden its starting to look like a dyno!



Also widened the front door to provide straight back access to the pit / dyno, main advantage allowing RWD use also as well as FWD which we couldnt do before due to door alignment!
