I'd love to see some CNC work as you do it; I enjoy seeing the many things you've been able to fabricate. You're talented in a lot of disparate fields!
Peter love the videos 🙂for the straight rods like toe link rod why not use aluminum you will save a lot of weight and you can even buy pre made from 8 inch to 26 inch with right and left threads
on the joint brackets maybe do similar desing but use steel plate and weld. i think that steel on that part would be best option for strenght and weight ratio with lots of room for it to move
Hade varit riktigt intressant med lite videos på CNC maskinen, CAM osv. Pluggar till ingenjör inom maskinteknik och har jobbat lite själv med solidworks samt CAM mjukvaror i plugget :D
Looking good. Yes. Please show us everything. How you design, how you process the designs, how you CNC th eparts and how you install them everything. You don't have to narrate it. But please film it.
You have what is called "rod end in bending" or REIB on your wishbone on the upright end, which is not preffered. But i get that it makes it alot easier fabricating... something to be aware of nonetheless.
Thanks for input! Can you explain the problem more or where can i see some info? This is the first time i do this and i am in hurry so i have not done any research on this.
@@PeterBjorck Det lilla problemet som blir är att lastvägarna i bärarmen är sådana att du belastar gängan på rod-end:en vid spindeln litegrann i skjuvning. Vilket är känt att gängade bitar inte gillar. Men överdimensionerar man gängan vid uprighten tillräckligt kommer man nog undan med det. Om du kollar hur F1 gör det så kan man dra förlängda linjer längst bärarmens rör och där det korsas vill man ha kul-leden för optimal lastväg.
14:54, I am no engineer but just a thought. Cant you put the adjustment on the mounting piece that connects to the hub/spindle instead of to the chassi? Would make more room for mounting than having to cram in a nut :)
If the base for this build is from your previously stolen Audi R8 will the car be able to get registered in Sweden since the engine with existing serial number etc is still reported av stolen goods? Love this build though so awesome 😊👍🏻
Nice work man, we made similar tie rods for our fs car, just much smaller :D. I recommend to also drill out a bigger nut than the tube diameter and slide it over and weld it in the middle to the tube. You can then use this nut to hold the tube when you tighten the rod end nuts.
Is it possible to make the lower arm not a straight arm, so it connect to the body joint without touching the mounting? But then I'm not sure if it would have the same strength as straight arm.
Holy cow that is amazing. This one of the best automotive/engineering on YT. Peter has so much knowledge and makes so cool stuff. Sure we would like a walkaround the CNC maschine :)
Maybe you can work around the interference problem of the "locking nut". Since you also have a locking nut on the other end of the tie-rod you maybe don't need one on the inside as well. The one outside nut lockes the complete setup from unscrewing.
Your Projects always were inspiring and interesting. But this build is Off the scale. Very good work. Looking Forward to See many custom billet parts from your CNC
14:38 using those rod ends is unnecessary and somewhat wrong in that location and for that application. The range of movement they’re capable of is not required. Have a look through race and rally and drifting suspension component catalogs for a much more suitable and stronger alternative.
For your tight rod end fitting can you unthread the rod to enable fitting of the mount, then just thread the rod back on? Maybe sounds too simple to work but just a thought!
You can make sand mold for casting metal with those 3d prints fort the ruf part then use the CNC for holes and fitting surfaces but i guess your not going to produce small series
I have worked many years and a lot of overtime and sacrifised much other things and now have that machine! You can do too if you rally want and work for it!
Peter, thanks for your videos of this fantastic project! Did I get this right, you are building up an old Volvo bodyshell with this amazing framework and Audi R8 components? My biggest respect! 👍
I am really enjoying these vlogs. Following the whole process from identifying the problem, through design and then production would be very interesting for me. Looking forward to the next one!
As an automotive engineering student from Finland, seeing these suspension setups and wheel angle adjustment setups etc. it just makes me think that have you considered, calculated or researched stuff about suspension geometry or bumpsteer stuff or any material strenght or flexibility aspects? Doing custom parts and setups is just so much different from using already engineered assemblies or parts. Just hoping u wont miss something detrimental! Love your vids and youre a huge motivation to me personally since im a depressed kiddo with big dreams :D
Now the geometry is almost like stock Audi/Lambo. Yes it would be beneficial to do some reasearsh and calculations. But then the car would not be ready to drive this year. So i thing there will be improvements in future.
