The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Yes, this will be much easier...Thanks Martin.



Well... The battery is back in the BACK... I mocked up the radiator, which is 19 x 31 and it drops down well into the frame. The white stuff is the foam spacers from the rad shipping box. Perfect height to set the radiator on. You can see there is no room between the radiator and the rack

THEN once I mocked up the electric fans, I had even less room. SO, the battery is in the back. I reconciled myself to that today and built a set of brackets out of foam core.

I also built a tray for the box to sit on.

With the box in place.

Let me tell you I am not real happy with this location but there is nothing else I can do.

I will make the brackets out of the left over .090 aluminum from the tank.
I modeled the parts up in UG and detailed them tonight. I will start making chips tomorrow night.

I could probably have the shop laser cut these but I need to make them with my own hands... Know what I mean?
Mel was working on the seat frames. He got all of the new mounting holes drilled and made up the spacer/washers for under the floor.

We can actually bolt the seats in now!
