Subject: Headlamps, 90mm streetfighter,
prnams
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi
Has anyone fitted 90mm streetfighter bike headlamps to their locost?
Follow the link  http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=500393
I have seen some of these on a V8 locost in a kit car mag. so people are
using them.
I'd like to know if these are legal on a car for road usage.  They are E
marked, and the shop say they dip to the UK side.
There is no arrow moulded into the lens to indicate they are R/H drive /
left traffic, but is this necessary?

Thanks in advance
Patrick Neal

Anyone got video rips (AVI, MPEG, etc.) of the Racecar is Born series?
Sadly, it never made it to the US and a few of us on the NA list have been
talking about it and would like to see it.

Also, I read somewhere that a geezer was building a car on a discovery
show to compete in the locost race series.  Any fruition there, and do
rips exist?

No rips I'm afraid, but re. your second point ((if it's any help), the
series was called "Kit Car Crisis" -bob

For those that have been asking what happened to the Clubman Builders
Resource (http://www.locost7.info), the web host somehow managed to lose
their entire server farm (apparently 3 disk drives failed simultaneously in
their RAID 5 array) and they have been completely out of action for nearly a
whole week. I got tired of waiting for them to rectify the problem and have
now moved hosts. It should now be back online by the time you read this
(barring any delays in DNS propagation).

Subject: File - HouseRules.txt
locost@yahoogroups.com
Send Email Send Email
 
This file contains the posting guidelines, or "house rules" for the
Locost mailing list. It is auto-posted once a month to the list, and
is sent to new arrivals when they subscribe. Please take a few moments
to familiarise yourself with the following notes:

1. The main subject is "Locosts". This means:- the building, sourcing of
parts, discussion of laws as applied to the construction and other
things in a similar vein. Off topic banter is permitted providing it is
kept to a MINIMUM and it includes (O/T) in the subject line.

2. Be mindful of other people's feelings. It is easy for a reader to
mistake your "tone of voice" in an e-mail. If you are discussing a hot
topic, hold the e-mail for a few hours after you've written it and
reread it later. Be careful of areas that could be misinterpreted.

3. Personal attacks are not permitted and will not be tolerated.

4. Trolling, or deliberate attempts to disrupt the running of the list,
whether by inflamatory postings or other means, will not be tolerated and
will result in the offending member(s) having postings moderated, and
if abuse continues, in the banning of that member from the group.

5. Please consider your actions before replying to any obviously inflamatory
posting, usually this is exactly what the original poster wants. The best course
of action in these cases is to ignore the original message. The moderators will
take responsibility for any actions taken against the original poster.

6. Advertising - put AD or Advert in the subject line and keep it
reasonably short and Locost/Seven oriented, that way people can filter
out the ads if they don't want to see them. Keep the frequency of ads to
a minimum.

7. Where long conversations occur, by all means quote relevant portions
of the original conversation you are responding to (to show the
context), but please trim any unnecessary text.

8. Viruses - the Internet is constantly being flooded with information
about computer viruses and Trojans. However, interspersed among real
virus notices are computer virus hoaxes. While these hoaxes do not
infect systems, they are still time consuming and costly to handle.
Please don't spread unconfirmed warnings about viruses and Trojans
within the List. In the event that you receive a virus warning, go to
one of the many anti-virus sites to check if they are indeed legitimate
or in fact, a virus hoax.

9. Remember that there are over 1500 members in this list, you don't
need to answer every e-mail from other members. If you have direct
experience with a discussed subject, then by all means answer it, but if
you aren't sure or are only "guessing" leave it to others to answer -
someone will know the answer.

Two very different series...  The first, the "...is born" series, were
made by Mark Evans - a vet and car/plane/bike nut who has made more
than 1000 TV programmes for the BBC, ITV and Discovery, many shown
world-wide. the second series, "Kit Car Crisis", was made by a
hopeless know-nothing character with more money than sense.

The first is worth a look, the second is a waste of time (unless you
like throwing things at your TV set!).

The few bit of Kit Car Crisis I saw were great. I couldnt beleive how such a
mechanically inept guy could approach such a project like he did - as you
say, more money than sense. It was a right laugh. He should be racing with
the 750MC now, alongside the Locost racing, but I don't remember seeing him
- so obviously hasnt finished the car yet!!!

On the other hand, saw An MG is Born last night - much better - Mark Evans
obviously has a real enthusiam and knowledge (footage from a engineering
company who rebuild overdrive boxes for MG's - very interesting)

The standard Escort one has to be tilted, that's at about 20degs I should
think. It doesn't seem to affect the cooling. You don't what to go much
above 45degs though - the air would slow down a  lot making it round the
corner and probably reduce the cooling too much.

Try to tilt the radiator horizontally. This provided your radiator is a
narrow type. Have seen this done many times. You can also angle the radiator
to a suitable angle. Watch cooling air flow though.

Some car manufacturers opted for horizontal intercoolers on top of engines.
So if it works for intercoolers, it will work for radiators. However, if you
go for horizontal, you must make sure that air will flow through the
radiator fins. Hence you must fit a cowling (preferably beneath) to catch
air and force it through the radiator. Otherwise, the cooling fan would stay
on, and then I would doubt its life.

How much tilting a radiator effects the cooling is quite complex. One
important factor is how much cooling capacity the radiator has in the
first place. A larger, modern alloy radiator will probably cool a lot more
efficiently than a standard 'scrot unit, so tilting it more probably won't
have any effect.

Another issue is the airflow path. Most cars have an innefficient airflow
path, think about the lack of air intake at the front of most modern cars
and the fact that the air exits into an aerodynamically messy engine bay
and you'll see why most cars have a much larger radiator than they need.

Make the airlfow path before and after the radiator more efficient with
plating and ducting. Make sure that the inlet is in a high pressure area
and the outlet is in a low pressure area. Now you can get away with quite
exteme angles, simply because the air has no choice other than to flow
through the radiator.

When building specials a lot of people don't condider airflow at all. On
mistake I saw was the underside of a sevenish car being plated all the way
  from the nose to the bulkhead, apparently for "aero dynamic efficiency".
There was also no proper exit for the air, so it had to squeeze out around
the bonnet and places like around the exhaust exit. As a result, at speed,
the air under the bonnet would be at high pressure leading to poor flow
through the radiator, and a very hot engine. The air under the bonnet
would also be very hot, meaning the engine would be down on power. Any
possible theoretical gains from the "aerodynamic efficiency" of this setup
would be more than offset by the problems it caused.

For good practice in radiator siting take a loot at the radiator and
intercooler installations on a Noble M12GTO. The radiator is nearer to
horizontal than vertical, but the airflow through it is huge. Then again,
so is the radiator.

Cheers,

Gareth

Hi All,

I'm visiting England for ~4 weeks late Sept/early Oct and was wondering if
there were any events/races/expo's/shows/etc that that be worth attending.

Travel dates are still a bit fluid (not for long) so Can be rearranged if
something EXTRAORDINARY was worth attending, but it would have to be good...

I'm still in the planning stage so basically I'm interested in EVERYTHING!
(also into minis & mokes and motorsport in general if you know of anything -
let me know)

I'll be staying with relatives in Sheffield, but am willing to travel
England/Scotland/Wales to see stuff.

Regards,

Mik

I presume you mean thread? If so, do you mean the thread of the bolts
holding the two halves together, or the thread of the bolts holding the
calliper on to the upright? Or the thread of the brake pipe junction? btw
the Cortina calliper is the same as the Mk2 Escort and Capri (not all
models) - the M16 - which may help your search.

I don't actually know the figures for any of these, but a bit more
information may help others!

G'day
Just started on the fuel tank, and was wondering were those motor cycle
style petrol caps / filler necks come from.  They are made of alloy and
have a ring of cap screws around the outside ring.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Anybody fitted Ford Pinto 2000cc on a  locost chassis? I already have a
scuttle and a nose cone, these are 10inches and 8 inches high respectively.
I would like to fit the engine, however would not like to go into the
expense of a dry sump. But i wonder if it can fit under the bonnet!! if not,
have anybody tilted the engine on the side?

Darren

They are available from different sources (motorcyckles is one). They
have also been used on some consumer cars. I have seen them on some
Peugeots.

http://www.quality-components.co.uk have some interesting stuff, but
they are perhaps more interesting for those wo go for the vintage style.
I don't seem to be able to find the link just now, but check places that
sell parts for kit-cars and replicas. You probably want a supplier
closer to home anyway.

When building a wider chassis than that suggested in the book what
procedure should one follow to locate the A-arms brackets?

I assume that the position of the brackets will change and the
length/angle of the arms will change.

What are the determining criteria to ensure that the wider chassis has
the same characteristics as the book chassis

Thanks

Well, its either 10mm fine or whatever the closest imperial equivalent is -
they are completely standard brake pipe fittings - not NPT. I have a feeling
they are metric, but would need to confirm that.

And just have, a quick google search shows that they are metric. Although
the imperial fitting will appear to work, they wont, probably at an
embarrassing moment, so ensure you use the correct ones. Any decent motor
factors will have them.

If you are using a spindle that is to the book design "BIG assumption"
the upper and lower control arm brackets should be located at the
same "Z" plane and for/aft locations per the book. They would just be
outbroad which increases the track of the vehicle but the caster and
camber curve not change.
