Dremel - the only thing it can't do is hammer (just like the advert says. )

How are you lining the axel up, simple measurement from the end of the frame on both sides?

Pah.

Guess once, measure never and do it again if it screws up

[Korn]

Erm, I don't want to say gav cos we'll blatently miss it... Let's just say "when it's done". Might even be this year

Too right on the measuring though, it took me a good hour to mark and drill the axle mounts - just 'cos I knew how long they would take to remake if I fucked up (been there, done that ).

Was going to ask where you putting the radiator etc - then scrolled down some more.

Hows the radiator sitting so far out on the side going to fit with any plastics your planning on getting?

Just another thought, where the axel bearings ar is it normal for them to be on top so the frame is hanging from them? Just for some reason I pictured the frame sitting on top of the axel if you get what I mean? Though I do admit I have no knowledge about these things as I've never looked at making one. - Though I see if I ever get a place with a garage.....

coming along in leaps and bounds though, I mean there can't be that much to do before you have a running cart.

You should put some gold mesh on that rad to *protect* it from stuff on the road.

Gav the way it's done now the bearings and mounting bolts are gonna be supporting the entire weight of the Kart, so maybe going underneath woulda been better as the frame would be supporting the weight rather than the bearing bolts. But their downpipes are in the way at the moment so that's the only place to mount it.

Well if theres anything I can help with with my abilty to borrow aerospace materials and machinery.

I'll ask for them...a Jet engine?

Didnt think Airbus made their own engines? Learn something new every day.

[MarJay]

<<<<NERD ALERT

Airbus don't make their own engines, neither do boeing. They either use General Electric or Rolls Royce engines.

Military jets use RR or GE engines too apart from the Typhoon which uses Turbo Union engines (an international conglomerate) along with the Tornado.

Some US miltary jets use another make, but I forget what they are called off hand.

<<<<Nerd Alert end!
Phew

Well what we make is the actuation systems. All the cylinders and ramrods etc etc. What I should of said is that we supply parts to all these companies.

Hex,
I dodn't think they were called EF2000 any more?

It can't be as bad as the version of the Rolls-Royce Olympus engine in the TSR-2. The main compressor drive shaft reached its resonant frequency when pushed to 98% thrust, meaning that it forcibly vibrated its way out of the engine

Hmm, rolls-royce olympus powered Go Kart?

I'd be a bit worried aabout the bearing holders taking the whole weight of the cart and driver - surely they're gonna distort and the bearing will slide out? Maybe in hindsight those thicker ones would have been better

but some mighty good progress going on
