Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Looking good indeed. The center hub looks like its a little low at the moment? not central... But I hate it when people are critical about things when they have not done it themselfs. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did yes, but just looked and thought the mounts were going to be long... but Pete B has hit the nail on the head I think. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 pete has indeed hit the nail simon, the engine is not bolted in yet,i need the reduction plate and prop before i can center the engine,thats the bottom pulley in the pic the center of the top pulley should be in the middle of the cage when i fit it.theres not a lot of room in the dk frame for the prop.so it needs to be spot on.ive aloud for rubber spacers to raise the engine even though i didnt get any vibration in the other frame and that was with no rubber mounts. whats all this talk about rubber///// its going to look tasty in this frame...

Guest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think the rubber mounts are there to take the vibration stresses away from the metal joints, to prevent (cracking welds) and so on. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 this is how it will sit in the frame,i have some strong exhaust strap that i will bed the engine on,it will take the vibration its 25m thick i think it will work.will have exhaust cut and silencer on 2morro,looking good,,,i dont know about the welds might crack,im cracked///// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW Check that the rubber mounts do not allow the prop to hit the cage due to torque from the engine. A problem Parajets have suffered with in the past. Looking good, well done. I have an old solo 210 engine from a microlite I still have which I am considering doing something with. Whitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
