Re: Drivetrain Critiques

You can probably get 1/2" Hex for a bit cheaper from Coast Aluminum.

Also try and not to run the chain underneath the belly pan. You can space up the 1x1 so its closer to the middle of the 2x1 by using 1/2" length spacers with a .375" OD and .196" ID.

How do you attach your bumpers from front to back?

The battery box could get centered, If your waterjetting. You can make a ring similar to what 973/1323 did in 2011. Its pretty nice. We did the same thing for 2012, I forget what 973 did.

Putting the compressor between the gearboxes is semi awful, as when taking the gearboxes out its gonna be a pain.

Why leave the entire front of the DT open? Is this a proto WCD? If so why not fill it up entirely?
