Ranks

This week we have made progress on the front drive axle, rear wheel, and steering components. We have made the main support of the front axle. This will serve as the base and reinforcement for the axle braces. Also we have put the bearings and other components on the steering fork. I would also just like to introduce, more formally, the major players on our team.

Progress

Construction continues in the KV shop. As of right now we have laid out our front drive axle and we are working on the braces to mount it to the frame. In order to mount it to the frame we have to lay out the whole sub-frame. We plan on making this sub-frame out of 1/4" aluminum angle pieces. This sub-frame will also serve as our mount for the braces we will lay the mono coat over. Our crew leader, Walter Wians, is also our best TIG welder. The pictures below show the drive axle laid in place behind the motor and shows Walter welding together part of the sub-frame.
