Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

Why did you do a little counterbore where the standoffs go? What effect does that have?

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

If I recall how they have done it in the past correctly, the standoffs are a hollow 1/16" wall .750 OD tubing. As such, the counter bore provides a method of centering the standoff around the through bolt.

I don't know, just a guess... The plates do rock though, nice work!

That makes sense, but I would have just taken round bar and drilled through.

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

Yeah, last year we copied the way they have been doing it. I assume they are doing the same thing this year

Using a much wider tube for a standoff decreases the likelyhood that the two plates will parrallelogram while being no heavier than a smaller solid standoff.

That also saves you the time you'd otherwise have to spend on drilling through the solid standoffs. It's a small thing, I know. But it adds up. Clever. =)

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

What material are you using for the side plates? I got to pick one up in Atlanta in 2004 and it felt a little lighter than aluminum.
