2D or 3D Sierra Front Upright
Cobra289 - 7/6/08 at 10:19 PM

Hi,
I am designing the front suspension, based on the Book but the donor will be a Sierra.
Perhaps you can help me with the drawings of the upright in 2D AutoCAD or 3D [SolidWorks] or equivalent.

Regards,

I have this




I also have a very rough 3d model in sketchup, or save some time and buy my book - it's Sierra based.

cheers

Chris

Thanks Chris!
Is this picture part of your book?
I am waiting for 4 weeks for the new Ron Champion book.

Can I order from you and pay via PayPal??? that will speed-up the shipping to the Netherlands.

Time is not a problem, I enjoy doing this design in SolidWorks.

Just did put these dimensions in my simulation and found some interesting things. Perhaps you did it in different way.
Found:
Ron book has 185 mm distance between the top and bottom arms [front]
To get a reasonable RC I will be forced to change this height to 170 mm.
Bah! I am talking about my design that use probably different wheels ET and tires and a different track.

Here is a picture of my 3D model.
