Looking good there. I like the seat re-furbish job. You can sew better than me!

[floriske]

Some great progress you've made arno!

Starting to look really good. Nice work on the seat indeed.

Thanks!

Past weekend I found the correct place for the pivot. At this moment i'm working on the motors and lever arms, it's difficult to lock the M12 shaft in the hollow axle.

Can you take a photo of what you are doing?

[dearn]

Tnxs bob for the picture!

@motiondave, i will take some pictures and keep you posted!

Floriske has also given me a few tips recently

Today i've buyed for 30 euros bolts and washers again, next update will be coming soon! The pivot is allready in place atm.

How many bolts and washers you bought. Sounds like importing them from germany is interesting

They are all gold plated!

Haha no, just kidding. Now I am sure that i will have enough bolts and nuts when its sunday and the local shops are closed

[floriske]

One can't have enough nuts and bolts indeed

Regarding the 12mm shaft: At this moment I'm just using a long m12 bolt tightened very firmly (so no pin yet) and all stays nicely in its place so far. I've made m12 tread in my arm to make shure it can't turn easilly. (as mentioned in my pm)

[motiondave]

Same here, I got a 12mm bolt that has been tightened the @#$% out of and it holds.

Small update

I haven't found a lot of time for my sim past week(s). The motors are ready to mount at this point, but i still need to make some levers for the potentiometers.

PICS

M10 rod-ends and I made some small steel levers on the M12 shaft:


Differs approximately 10 cm in height, must be enough...


Big gamble... about here


Bolted on the 18mm birchwood with some M8 bolts.


I still need to cut the bolts to correct size, but for now its good enough.

Grtz,
Arno
