Trianulation advise needed.
« on: February 08, 2009, 07:30:32 PM »
OK so here's a sketch of the upper and lower rear H arms for the buggy.What is best triangulation positioning? Would a combination of plate gussets and tubes be any advantage? What is sketched will be tube with heims inserted.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Not in the least. Front of car is to the right of screen. I may be fishing in a sense since I think I know what I'll do but it's a legit question and I would appreciate any opinions and why. Remember there's no such thing as a stupid question UNLESS it's asked AFTER you weld something up.  ;D ;D

how are you going to attach the shocks?  Tabs, bung, through hole with welded insert?

just concentrate on the triangulation of the arms in regard to fore/aft forces.

Don't get snippy. ;)  This is what my instincts tell me to handle for/aft stresses.  if you need squiggly pieces, I could prolly find some in my scrap pile. ;D  I haven't figured out how to draw straight lines....

 I've seen a lot of that type on the long travel SXS stuff... all manor of bracing, too. I'm thinking you should find something that looks good to the eye and it will be plenty strong. I'd look for some of those squiglies myself. :)

If you use bushings, I would say no, cuz the bearing carrier or hub assembly or whatever you want to call it will stabilize the ends, but if you use heims, I would add another short piece of tube to create a triangle-ish shape.
