But tomorrow, cause its after ten :tres hermanos_rock_smiley: after 10 whats that got to do with making noise? or is it past bed time? Doesn't sound like the Bob I knew. Anyhow you haven't posted any progress pics in a while, like radiator installation,trailing arms and shock mounts or there must be something to show us. Go crack the whip and get Bob moving, 3 months and 1 week left Quote

sand chick Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Did Ted come down and help design that? I am almost afraid to ask but, Why?? Quote
HI_DESERT_DDR Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Any new pics or progress reports??????? HI-DESERT Quote
BudlightBob Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Mounted fuel pump and filter last night. Cut 39 more wires out of the harness. And it still run's. I will have the famous photagrapher take some pics tonight. I can't use the camera anymore!! I am so redy to take it out for a test ride. Quote
wingnut Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I think I would be concerned with the radiator location in a roll over. Quote
BudlightBob Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I am still looking into that. I kinda ran out of room. The t-body is in the way so i cant move it down yet. Maybe I should put it out front. Quote

I think I would be concerned about front end collisions if it was out front maybe just stay home and be safe Quote
BudlightBob Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I think I would be concerned about front end collisions if it was out front maybe just stay home and be safe Good idea. That way I won't have to have you tow me. U. :shocked2: Quote
offroadracer Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I think I would be concerned with the radiator location in a roll over. it might be o.k , then again looking at the pics, it might hit on a roll :shocked2: how much clearance between the top of the radiator and the top of cage? Quote
lakecitydan Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Since there is so much concern about radiator placement in a rollover I decided to do calculations on the possibility of radiator damage factoring in radiator placement,clearance,speed,roll cage configuation and weight. Heres what I came up with, Traveling at 25mph or less with a passenger of equal weight and driver who has consumed 6 beers(a morning ride) there is a 10% chance of radiator damage Traveling at 45mph without a passenger and driver who has consumed 18 beers(night ride)there is a 90% chance of radiator damage but Bob will not care because he will be to busy looking for the ice chest that flew out so he can get another beer and wheter we can tell that he sh!t himself :shocked2: Quote
BudlightBob Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 You have got to much time on your hand's. But that is probably 100% correct. What radiator?? :Danielle: Quote

What radiator?? :Danielle: I got so much time on my hands that all the crazy thoughts that have stuck in my head for years are starting to creep out and into thr real world(not the one I'm in) Quote
sand chick Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 In going through some rail pics, it seems like that is the traditional place for the radiator for this style of rail.? Quote
sand chick Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 In going through some rail pics, it seems like that is the traditional place for the radiator for this style of rail.? Or are you talking about the height and not the placement of behind the seats? :Danielle: Sorry just trying to get some information Quote
sand chick Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 Ok here's the story on the radiator, NOW we all agree its NOT the best placement, but its almost a foot from the top and 16.5 inches from the back of the seats. I have been told by some reliable sources that this should be no problemo. I was told however that anytime I go in a rail I need to have someone wrap me up in about 50 lbs of bubble wrap just to be sure!! No we should be good, maybe look at moving it inside the tubing, but thank you for your concerns Voices of opinion, concerns, thoughts and examples are always welcome here!! How else am I supposed to learn stuff?? Quote

BudlightBob Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Can I just weld some :porn: fins on the heads and be done with the radiator problem?? Quote
