Don't know Peter, sorry. I am sure that someone somewhere has done this and shared here or on rr.net but have never looked for it.Quote:

Good news is it sounds like the faults happen well before making the sensors physically max out, so gives some good warning before breaking. If faults keep happening unexpectedly then I guess I adjust as necessary.

Cheers - Sean.
Keith and PBrown - would you let me know the o.d. and i.d. of the disc used for the 2" spacers - assume 5mm thick is enough. And the angle used for the rear. Wanna get some laser cut for welding up at home.
4mm steel, if you go thicker you won't be able to put the "r" clip into the bag piston.
It's easier to explain via the drawings, the rear bags especially as they sit 180 degrees to each other so you need to get the direction of the piston pin right when welding.
Peter has the latest drawings (minor updates made after mine were cut). I'm sure he would be able to assist in your quest!
Mine were laser cut and came out a touch sloppy but still good enough to do the job.
Cheers
Keithy
I'll upload the drawings once I'm back in oz in august. They are on my work laptop and need a little revising before releasing to the forum.Quote:

Off memory the flat spot on the D for the hole was made to be 30mm (28mm on the bag). The rear spacers for mine had 32mm/12mm taper for the uprights (middle 22mm with 20mm difference between for and aft) , with the front a flat 22mm (total height 30mm when you add the two thicknesses of the top and bottom plates) . Keith's were 20mm higher all round. Diameter of top and bottom plates was 125mm.
Hope that helps a little. Bit hard to describe in words.
If you can wait a month or so I'm back in oz and Keith or myself have actually installed them, I/we will be happy to share.
Well said Peter!
Much appreciated guys. I've just ordered the discs.
We would have offered the auto cad files sooner, however we were hoping to put some real world testing behind the designs prior to letting them out.
More a "if someone hurts themselves using our design" thing. That said - these are not engineered yet, nor are we a business and as such we claim no responsibility for anything that may/may not happen as a result of the design.
If you can hold off a month or two ill have mine fitted and tested, as will Peter no doubt, We can then advise on what worked and what didn't work on the kit.
No problem guys. Fully understand. Won't be in a position to fab the spacers for a while yet - very interested to learn from your tweaks and fine tuning.
