12-10-12

The '99 car made a big step forward Monday with the arrival of a set of used Ohlins dampers and springs.  I purchased this set from another FSAE team.  Not the dampers I was originally planning to use, but these are a bit of an upgrade!


Having these dampers in hand will help me to finish designing the revised bell-cranks.  Hope to get those laser cut early in January along with pedal cluster parts.

Here is a mock-up of what the rear set-up will look like.  The aluminum bell-crank will be replaced with a steel fabrication and the bell-crank pivot mount will be lowered by about 1".
