i like the last picture, looks like some of my treated brass coated rotors.

 

Please elaborate on these treated brass coated rotors....

 

just a film of brass to prevent corrosion while in storage. once the engine is fired it embeds into the rotor to plate them.

originally i used it just for rotors that had all the original plating removed but noticed that rebuilt motors retained the coating and had little to no corrosion regardless of storage so i clean them all with brass now. simpler than having them re-plated.

i figured it would burn off due to heat but the surface temp of the rotors obviously isn't quite hot enough.

 

Very nice build!

 

I like this cnc-machined surface look a like

 

We have done awsome progress this weekend. But we will not show it yet

 

in oz,, we call this a ***** tease
all i manged to do this weekend was fight ( and lose ) to my home insurance company over a split pipe,, what a waste of time effort and sanity
( and it doesnt even freeze here )

 

Just finished reading the entire post, very impressive, can't wait to see the next update.

 

Everything goes according to plan, but everything has its time
Meanwhile, the graphic card goes hot in the computer.
Is updating my drawings on the chassis and so on. And when inspiration is short, so make it a nice rendering, so you will be happy again

Oh my god...
nothing like cad to motivate you!
Where are you going to attach the upper arms in the front?? The car will be a full tube chassis right?

 

I havn't done the upper arms attachments yet. Don't know right now how to solve this. But it will come
There will be a frame welded in the old body of the Volvo142, but with full rollcage.

 

looking at your entire chassis design, it reminds me of RC cars. 12th scale pan cars in particular. they have an independent rear "pod" that is attached by the shock in the middle and bars on each of the ends.

 

A good start on a looong weekend...

I'm so jealous...
I'm also interested in seeing how you will machine the combustion pockets on the side of the rotors. I think that could be some tricky CNC code work.

 

you can already see the pockets starting to take shape on the inside of the milled casing. they don't have to be perfectly smooth, even mazda's rotors weren't very smoothly machined.

 

Ah, I see them now. I'm interested to see how they are jigged up to machine the outside though too. Fantastic work so far though. I will be doing something similar in the spring hopefully.

 

The combustion-face are the easy part...:-)
You''ll see :-)
