Yeah! nice fab work already
realy cool how you made the BB/hub adapters , my mind saved this for the future

even quicker and nicer ? IMPOSSIBRUUU!

FIRE! FIRE!

Fire makes warm!

This looks wild Luke! Can't wait to see it what's doing with this drivetrain.

Update for you below!

Glad you like it 1HP! They are a bit more complicated now though!

Today I continued work with these:

Tacked them, then into the lathe to check they were straight, and then out of the lathe to weld them and then back into the lathe to turn down the flanges and the weld a little:

Two washers, drilled to suit my 140mm brake discs:

Tacked them to the hub pieces, into the lathe to check for straight, back out to fully weld, sanded the faces flat and then I stated tapping the 5mm threads for the brake bolts, here is a pic with one done and assembled with a freewheel and disc and part way through tapping the other one:

Final results at the end of the day:

Still lots of work to go on this drivetrain, it is complicated!

Sorry for the lack of progress pics building those pieces, it is hard to stop and document when you are on a roll with something. Any questions just ask...

Awesome as usual!

Thanks Kel!

Inboard brakes? Good to see you cranking away with the mad science projects again..

The mind of an engineer can be a scary place.

Can't wait till you guys see how all this fits together...

i have one ! ... i imagine these will go on the same BB , one on the left and one on the right , did you put the square taper reversed in the left sided hub part ? or how you do to prevent the free wheel to unscrew ?

Ah ha! You are starting to figure out how this will all work!

They are reversed:

Just one thing though, why would one bottom bracket axle need two disc brakes?

Oh! i see it now thanks !

humm 2 disk brakes ? Mad scientist idea? more braking power? or maybe enven just symetry ?

Maybe there is more than one bottom bracket?

I've got it!!! The butler did it!

This is fun Luke, keep the suspense up.

With a candle stick in the garage.... it's an LTJ build, there could be a candle stick.

Well, we already know there is a propane tank...

This is fun Luke, keep the suspense up.

I will try, I don't think it will last much longer though, it will start becoming clear in the next couple of steps I would think!

On a different subject how good is that Clue game? We play it all the time, in fact my Mother-In-Law has a new version which has mystery squares and random cards too, it is a good change up!

Luke.

 

[SwissGuy]

Propane tank rear wheel?

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Propane tank rear wheel?

That would make it hard to hook up the flame thrower...

Luke.

 

[Indyjps]

Waiting patiently, I got no idea what you're up to, but it looks cool so far.

Rofl!
