After modifying the front axles for the chopper wheels the sensor needed to be mounted. I decided that it was OK to machine a small part of the upright away for the sensor to poke through, it was either this or extended everything further inboard but I cant see any problem with this. In this region of the upright it is very thin so I am not worried at all by machining this little away.
I then made a bracket that mounted to the uprights to mount the sensor. It looks below like the sensor hits the chopper wheel, but there is actually the 1mm gap required, but his can easily be shimmed to reduce, or the modded to extend.
I then tacked the rear chopper wheels onto the CV’s. I dont want to make this too permanent a fix as obviously the CV’s will have to be replaced and I want to reuse the choppers. These tacks should hold it on anyway, remember it is tacking no load so there shouldnt be anything to actually try to shear them. Well thats the hope!
On the rear I needed to mount the sensors, as currently they were mounted on sky hooks! I made up the below brackets from some ally bar. There is nothing to stop these rotating and crashing into the choppers, but hopefully if done up tight enough all will be fine!
Then to loose some weight I machined them down. There is still a load more that can come out of these though.
