mattcrackers Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Nice work Camber, pretty sure there would be a decent void to fill for these type of brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Cam, is it possible to extend the "legs" on the motor bracket by around 5mm? Just noticed how very short the are on the originals. Limits fitting space for crown gear and requires cutting of motor shaft. I don't think moving the motor forward 5mm would make a big difference in useability. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

kalbfellp Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Moving the motor forward does cause problems when trying to fit a full driver. Also the front bracket could do with the axle holes being further up so the guide and chassis sit lower. The couple of cars I built with brackets had the bearings lifted 1mm to offset the gear, and the front axle holes cut out to raise the front axle.

dangermouse Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Also the front bracket could do with the axle holes being further up so the guide and chassis sit lower. The couple of cars I built with brackets had the bearings lifted 1mm to offset the gear, and the front axle holes cut out to raise the front axle. On the BWA brackets I have in front of me you couldn't move the front axle holes any higher as there is only a whisker of metal above the hole. For the rear you have maybe 1mm of metal above the hole so could only move the hole at most 0.5mm David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Dave simply make the bracket higher! The front is the main one that needs the change. Most people are using them for cars with 19 to 20mm tyres. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Might be worth giving Cam some dimension if there is a need for a change seeing as though he is about to make some more - what would you recommend Phil making the sides of the front bracket the same size as the rear bracket which should allow the hole to be 1mm higher and then make the rear bracket 0.5mm bigger so you can move the rear hole up 1mm as well?

kalbfellp Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not everyone will be happy with the offset rear, some don't like the offset gears. But it does get the weight down a bit. Cannot remember how far the guides need moving down on the BWA brackets, ie axle hole up.

Pauls Slots Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Looking forward to get hold of a couple of brackets to start getting ready for next year. As mentioned, they can be modified as per builders requirements. Next year is almost here.
