Fresh from the drawing board. This is subchassis frame R2.
Build:
 | aluminum - PVC- aluminum sandwich laminated with polyurethane adhesive |
| standard bearing housing from a TD160 makes a slip fit into the board and is held securely by polyurethane adhesive. |
| Ballast weights and reinforcement parts are grade LE phenolic |
The lower phenolic disk with the circular hole pattern will hold counter weights to even out the weight distribution between the three springs and to provide a lower center of gravity.
closeup view of the top phenolic layer surrounding the bearing. The
purpose is to provide additional stiffness to the main board in the immediate
bearing area and also to provide some damping.
