Would someone please direct me to where I can find answers to the following (and follow-on) questions?
  • Are there any documents which show how the versaframe blocks come together?
  • It appears that you must drill large holes in the tubing for axles to pass through. How large they should be? Where they should be centered? What are the tolerances?
  • Are the clamping gearbox, clamping bearing and WCD bearings alternatives for or must they be used in conjunction with a face bearing mount? I can find pictures of the pieces either completely isolated or completely integrated, but nowhere in between.
  • How do the various gears, sprockets, and wheels say on the shafts - is it strictly shaft collar based, or do I need some more hardware?
Be sure to check out the drawings at the bottom of each project page, also the application and guides page has some instructions for some drivetrains to get a feel for the system.
