Tony Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Thanks for the images and video.... Obviously well done Bazza and i must say from the vid the 350 handled really well... Recently there was an image of the 350 corner on and the body roll looked washed out... From the vid this obviously is not the case... well done guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwozza Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have a WIM sticker I can pop round unless one in the post already. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 The reason for the wheel lift is the castor.... As this sweeps corner-in the diagonal position of the sprung-unsprung lifts the chassis... You currently have 0 castor... you need around four degrees and them some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 best pic i have at the moment (blame ole shaky janey !! ) the tart showing air castor should be sorted very soon will have a few degrees to play with hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Janey don't listen to him.... Lets say it was cold on the day hence the blurred image That castor sweep?....... It's like a swimmer, as the leading arm is dropped diagonally the foot pushes, this sequence is designed to work perfectly and it does. Currently as you take a lock the inner wheel cannot sweep forward so there is no relationship between the sprung/un-sprung chassis, or transition..... Forget about weight transfer and all other areas. Since you have such a rigid/braced chassis the lack of castor has no option other then to lift the un-sprung chassis diagonally... The arm and foot are tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
