Re: Installing Rear Hub On A '40
So no amount of fool-proofing will overcome the efforts of a sufficiently motivated fool? Darn...

Re: Installing Rear Hub On A '40
This has been fun stuff. At least we got some people thinking which is a good thing. And yes to 40 Deluxe, your trans point is well taken and does affect the numbers. The actual limiting element in this exercise is the traction of tire to road. At approx. 560 ft-lbf at the axle(per side) the wheel will spin the tires IF the car is not allowed to accelerate, i.e. pushed up against a wall. Otherwise most of the force goes into accelerating the car. A whole notha set of calculations, but we just want to go fast (and stay safe with tight axles)
Fun session and yes Cadillac512, we will not be able to foolproof our way past all of the fools. |
