Ok so we do need to find a machinist to make the small poles and small washers and bearing holder tensioners but thats what designing new things is about.

PS those belts do look superb with this
Hey looks great, but i wonder how do you intend to secure the vertical plates to the lower chassis, are you making some plastic lower blocks?

Ive just wasted three rear gearboxes by cutting down but have cocked it up so many times its not the way to go for everyone else. I am now working on a zxs rear box and have done one side and am slowly doing the other. Once im happy i will get a mold made for plastic making.

The advantages of this design is you can adjust the belt tension and also see how taught the belt is any time. Ive also since posting these pics found that you need to use the zxs thrust race to get a perfect fit for the layshaft with zero movement sideways. You also must glue the sidewalls on the pulleys (you didnt need to do this on the zx/zxr gearbox).

Will post more when im satisfied.

Well Rama, what do you think it will cost in your sweatshop?

Ive also had a rethink on the gearbox sides, and believe if I go the whole hog and CF all the way to the chassis I may be able to add two attachment points onto the pivot blocks (one on either side) as I am having issues with the plastic bottom sections. I will have a proto made with all my issues so far resolved and the bottom added and also get the pivot blocks made as well and hopefully get this on the road.

Ive got a few things to do such as drill holes through the grain on CF pivot blocks as fibrelyte wont do that for me and then cut some brass tubing and glue in the holes giving strength and then hopefully fit with zero problems and hopefully game on.

Welshy,

Great job on your rear gear box! looks very nice! I am available if you needed my help. Can't wait to see the end product.

Alcyon,

I might be able to help manufacturing your layshaft as I know a few "child-labour sweat shop" in china that will do my biddings as well. If you don't mind, you can send me the solidworks files and they can CNC it.


I saw this on my cell phone:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI....E:B:SS:CA:1123

I thought it was a blue alloy bumper. But with closer looks, it's just a regular one with blue glow on it.

just the light that makes it look that way.

welsh

for the rear gearbox why not use the flanged bearing instead as per oosh123´s front gearbox design.

Right ive done a redesign. Ive added a lug at the top back of the CF gearbox for the back section to be directly screwed into the two empty holes in the rear shock tower mount, that no one uses for anything as well as an extra lower lug at the bottom front. The front one will be to screw directly into a redesigned pivot block (hole to be added ontop of current version on either side). This will then mean a fully fitted open CF gearbox

Yup, better than integy.com

Found this one which I am hoping is the correct size. This is a one way so would work for me only however I can buy two one for the front one way and swop it around for the rear belt, that is if its the correct size. Any ideas if it is?
