Re: Mount Middle Slide Wheel

We're modifying a KOP drive chassis to H-drive, using a spacer instead of the center wheel. We were thinking about just using a couple of angle aluminum brackets to hard-mount another copy of the same gearbox 1/8" higher than the built-in gearboxes. We aren't planning to drive up the ramp, but makes me realize we either need to provide suspension to let it happen, or provide some safeties so that we don't slam the wheel into the platform.
