Need help with equipment design

[Timmay]

I trust your judgment on this idea with the vice grip style clamps, this is exactly what im talking about.

tool-less operation is so clutch, it seems incidental but in reality in the field it is crucial

also the fact the mount ends dont need a "full wrap" on the tube of the vehicle is another major upside...panels and dashes and wiring and lines and all that stuff all too often gets in the way. we are lucky our gopro mounts use zipties and can get around that more often than not, but a tube clamp would be severely limited. this is another reason i dont use gopros supplied roll bar mounts, theyre full wrap and are too cumbersome to mount in a lot of places, and theyre even small

Screw it, i'll make one. I will order the parts today and i'll see if I can whip it up tomorrow evening.

This will be impossible to explain, but I have special custom vise grips that I use for tube work. They have small pieces of angle iron welded on them to make it easy to clamp and center on tubes. I'm thinking that same setup x3. I'll try to mock it up on timmy's buggy and take some pics. Shit, if i'm lucky and his motor arrives maybe we can test it on his rig next week.

Make it like a strut bar. Or steering. Loosen two jam nuts, turn to desired length, tighten, voila.

i know exactly the vice grips youre talkin about, i seen em at the shop

thanks dude, interested to see how it works out. invoice me for the parts costs and we will work it out

Didn't read through the whole thing.

[Timmay]

invoice me

Am I reading this correctly??



Parts are here, i'll try to put it together tonight and post pics.

[HeavyMetal]

im cool with not invoicing too

[Timmay]

These little mini tube adapters and heims are baller. I got 3/4" solid 7075 T6 for the slide portion. Yea, baller.

Invoicing you now.

[Timmay]

Extends from 40" to 6'6". I think it'll be stable even that far out too.

I miss seeing welder like this everyday

Yeah the welder is a good looking guy

[HeavyMetal]

that shit is lookin legitimate.

nice work..

Question: what locks it in position with all the heims?

i am guessing that bolt head (what would be a t-handle later) works as a sort of set screw on a long length of tube inside of what we currently see

Fuck auto correct lol

Boom.

What locks it in position is triangles. One arm needs to be fix mounted to the mount, the other two will be on heims.
