I again resorted to developing the
bracketing using a CAD model |
|
This is the main rib. I
initially had long through holes in
order to hold the entire assembly in
tension, but after analyzing the
stresses I determined they were not
necessary. (Robotic Solutions is a
sister company). |
|
Hole locations needed to bolt
the rib to the horizontal members. |
 |
There are
three different horizontal members - two
mirror pieces, and one needed for
clearance at the driver's foot well. |
 |
I did away with
the curvature as it didn't lock the
components together. Instead I notched
the "bellhousing" so that the weight of
the motor would tend to lock everything
together tighter - that's why I did away
with the through holes in the horizontal
members. |
 |
This is the main
filler member - sort of a keystone. |
