Is it going to be a nut shifter? (in-between the legs) lol

yea

Well it looks like a good amount of sheetmetal work. I also like how clean your workspace is, I always make a mess.

Yea its a ton of work, mostly designing it tho, building it is the easy part.
And its clean cause its at my work garage. Its to clean tho meaning I need to spend time looking for the tools i need every time. When normally there is order in my mess in my garage.

if i was gonna be that low i would rather have the shifter to my left or right insted of having a nut shifter lol

Cool shift gate... I Like it!

Say- have you actually done the speed calcs? What do you expect it to top out at?

yeesh CAD, haha, a lot of work there. my school has auto CAD 2011, and I don't know to much about it but I can make some cool stuff. So much you can do on the program.

You wouldt get any belt slip age.

I know that is what i ment by no belt slip age becaues their ist one.

Houston, We have a problem!

I thought the Comet 780 clutch i got was gonna get mounted both Outbound on the axles, but when googling and idk how I figured its not. But now the problem is, Then it won't fit how ive designed it now.



Like this is how I thought it should mount up.


But now I realized its mounted like this.


So now I have to throw away my Whole jackshaft design, and CAD it all over again.
Sucks to say the least, also unsure now if this will ever fit in the tiny "Dash spot" I need it too.

Sketched up a new top plate by hand, notice the 10" hole, where the driven Comet 770 will go.



Also this plate is designed as one plate that willbe welded on top of the frame holding both engine, jackshaft and also the 820 Peerless.

That's what happens when you do all custom stuff. I was fighting a lot of things on mine, and I hope yours works out!

True that!

New CAD plan, not alot changed, the 10" hole is the major difference and also how this plate and jackshaft is mounted. Maybee Ill have this cut out by tomorrow tho i doubt it.




Jackshaft,

Question is..........Will it blend?
