Re: T frame plans

Ron I have downloaded your plans My question is why do you use round tubing on front cross member. THANKS in advance for your help. I am in the early planing stages and your help is really appreciated. I have been going to car shows as you suggested . It is helpful when planning to see and evaluate finished products.The craftmanship on some of the T's I have seen is unbelievable.

Re: T frame plans

The round cross member goes well with the tube axle, tie rod, and drag link. Most everything in your front suspension has some kind of roundness to it. If you have anymore questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Re: T frame plans

What ever came of the CAD drawings? Did I miss something somewhere?
The community college here is setting up a CNC Plasma cutter and I think something like this would be a good test.

Re: T frame plans

This is my fault. I have my brothers cad drawings on a cd but don't know how to integrate them into the pdf. I only know enough about this computer to get myself in trouble accidentally. That would be a suicidal attempt at best. If someone is willing to take on this project, let me know.

Re: T frame plans

Ron.............Here's a link to a DWG to PDF converter for converting AutoCad files. They have a free download for a trial version. It should give you about 20 conversions before the trial times out. It's a 4.4mb executable file and is easy to setup. I downloaded their PDF to DWG converter and it's pretty slick......Steve

DWG to PDF Converter, AutoCAD to PDF Converter

P.S. If faceplant wants to use the plans for a CNC plasma cutter I would just email him the files you have on CD. He would have to convert them back from PDF to DWG to use them if he had the PDF files.

Re: T frame plans

I don't think there's a big demand for CAD drawings as access to a multi-thousand dollar piece of equipment can be limited. I've taken a class in AutoCAD so I can probably fumble my way through. However, knowing almost nothing about a CNC Plamsa cutter, I don't know if I need to adjust for kerf width or anything of that nature.

I'll putz with it later.
thanks.

Re: T frame plans

Ron I am ready for those files. Think you could get your brother to email me them in a DXF format? You can have the first set on the house. The CNC Plasma awaits.

I could sit here and redraw them all in CAD but if he has them, the finished parts are just a few mouse clicks away.
