Title: Re: wheel nuts Post by: gpz on April 09, 2008, 05:20:10 PM thanks for that guys now getting off track i seem to remember some one turning some axle plates like the ones manky designed out off aliminium sheet 10mm ithink ,i have some 12mm sheet aliminium would this be to thick ?or is there enough movement on the caliper carriers to acomadate this .the guy that is machineing the plates was a bit worried about the strenght hope someone out there can help
Title: Re: wheel nuts Post by: Manky Monkey on April 09, 2008, 10:40:25 PM It was SaddleBags who CNC machined the caliper plates from 10mm aluminum. I've got a pair on my new trike & Taz has a set ready to go on hers. Mr Bags assures us the strength issue ain't a problem & he's a clever techy type bloke, so I believe him.
Title: Re: wheel nuts Post by: gpz on April 10, 2008, 05:10:29 PM r your plates made off alloy or steel ,would it be possible to find out how big the recess is on those plates in the picture
Title: Re: wheel nuts Post by: Manky Monkey on April 10, 2008, 06:25:26 PM Aluminum. SaddleBags says that although there's sideways pressure on the plates during braking, the bulk of the stress is on the edge of the plate as the disc stops the wheel rotating, so 10mm ally's fine.
The recess in the middle fits over the flange on the end of the axle, with a flat on one edge to locate on the corresponding flat on the axle flange. The calipers then sit towards the back of the trike at about 45 degrees. The recessed section is 7mm thick, so a 3mm step. Did you ask about the diameter of the centre hole? On the drawing SaddleBags gave me it says 40mm, but I've just measured our plates & it's actually 47mm. I'll rework the drawing, add as much info as possible, & re-post it all in the trike tech section of the main site when I get a minute. |
