If they are run at fixed, zero degrees slope, and exactly 90 degrees to the shafts, it wont be a problem, except for maybe lubrication.
HA! Only 11 minutes. Not saying you're wrong. It's just that some things are exceptionally predictable here. I would have run a coupling and dispensed with the U-Joints entirely, assuming the housing is rigid mounted.
Actually zero minutes because you are the one that brought it up. I guess that makes you the predictible one.
Still working on frame kinda stuff, still have to make some tie rod ends.. There's alot of stuff going on in the nose of this thing.. and got to start to mount the body..
I started to weld the locating ribs in today. I made them out of three pieces to help eliminate some scrap that I had laying around And a pic of the mounting points And one that I thought was pretty neat, the 'swoop' at the back end
Some more pics I got a little more mock up done, the bottom is mounted and I'm now just checking to see how the top is going to fit.. KInda looks like having a killer whale in the shop...
You ever notice that for every hour that you spend on the 'skin'; you have to spend 3 on stuff that noone will ever see? I'm still working on all the body mounts and 'stuff'. Here you can see the air scoops that will eventually feed the engine and the other side will be air for the driver. The rear is starting to take shape as well, still fighting fitment issues There's space but I still have to use it wisely The engine tucked nicely into place and I found out that my 'shot gun' pipes are too short. These things are taking up quite a bit of time..
WOW this thing is really taken shape. I love it!!! Awsome work. I worked as an aluminum tig wleder for awhile so i know how that metal workes. not easy. way to go.
It's a lot of stuff under the skin... the heat vents that allow the rad. heat to escape, and the rad. support and a bulk head Then you have the header and the opening in the body And a support rib that I need to attach...
