Title: Re: Stuff Post by: trikerpete on July 28, 2011, 03:34:15 PM hhmmm anymore "stuff" to follow, tbone? :)
Title: Re: Stuff Post by: tbone on July 28, 2011, 05:11:32 PM Ah, I suppose an explanation is in order ::)
I`m using MMM as a hosting site ;D. Cant send attachments with pm`s so it was posted here for someone to look at before we make a decision on the style.

Hmmmm ok, but Im not 100% sure what Im looking at as the part on the right hand side looks to be made of concrete as it seems to have particules in it construction :) Title: Re: Stuff Post by: trikerpete on August 01, 2011, 04:49:38 PM Ahha, its a footrest. Ive just downloaded picture and enlarged it. Now I can read the words :) ::)
Title: Re: Stuff Post by: tbone on August 01, 2011, 07:56:04 PM Yes it is. Autocad didn`t have a nice `foot peg` hatch ;D
I didnt explain it because the person it was posted for, knows what it is ::) Title: Re: Stuff Post by: tbone on August 04, 2011, 11:25:18 AM Probably wont make much more sense with a proper photo either, but here it is, well the bits i have done, the frame and foot peg are being supplied by someone else ;D
The 2 spacers get welded to the frame, 1 on the inside and yep, the other on the outside. The inside spacer is drilled, tapped and fitted with an M5 grubsrew that locates a third of the way into the shank of the bolt, this stops the bolt from turning in the spacers. The bolt could have been welded to the spacers on the frame to achieve the same thing (and would have been less work for me ;D), but being able to remove it is probably better. The pedal pivot then slips onto the bolt, this is wide enough to span the remainder of the bolt shank so the bearings will run on that and not the thread (although a mil or 2 over wont matter). A 12mm threaded foot peg will then be screwed onto the end of the bolt and will trap the pivot in place. The washer is optional and can be removed if tolerances dictate, or a second can be added.

Title: Re: Stuff Post by: brock on August 04, 2011, 10:27:51 PM Nice job Tim. You could consider dropping the bolt size to M10 as that will open up a huge variety of foot pegs , have a look on Ebay at "BMX pegs" , standard at M10, would still be good for about three tons in single shear.
Title: Re: Stuff Post by: tbone on August 05, 2011, 04:55:10 AM Cheers guys ;D.
In this instance, i had to go with the M12 bolt to suit a foot peg that has already been bought, good tip on those bmx ones though Steve, thank you ;). |
