Need hpi suspension conversion outline

[Pope]

I would like to know if anyone with the hpi suspension conversion would be willing to take this part http://storefront.smfstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_93&products_id=2259 and make an outline of it and fax it to me or scan it and send it to me. I have some carbon fiber that I want to use to do my own conversion with. If it won't work with that I am going to cut it out of aluminum.

 

[Jon]

if noone beats me to it i can possibley trace it i just don't know how ill fax it to you, wait scratch that GF has a scanner. ill try and get it done for you tomorrow.

How thick is your carbon fiber? I would imagine it would need to be kinda thick to prevent that middle part from snapping or even the part where the turnbuckles screws into.

 

[Pope]

Its 2mm but I am going to layer it if not I will use alum thanks bad

 

[frddyj]

how much c/f you got & would you be willin to trade somethin for a pc of it?

 

[Pope]

I don't have much left just enough to do this and a mount for a rush batt. box. I can get more i get it from the race track in town when cars wreck. Next time cars with carbon fiber bodies race I will get as much as I can and I will give you some. I will check the events list for the track and let you know when. I don't know how well it is going to do so that is why I will just give it to you. You would gust have to pay shipping costs. If I get alot I will put up pics of what I have to give away and first come first serve but you will have first dibs frddyj. I will also give dibs to who ever gets me this outline. Can't promise when I will get it though. wish I had taken the whole back of the car that wrecked and the front of the other they just throw the stuff away. this is the car i got my pieces from but it was orange at the race i was at http://www.grand-am.com/teams/team.cfm?series=r&tid=1270

Funny you should ask it worked great till yesterday. I launched it off of a old damn twice and it broke. I made one out of quarter inch plate steel for the back so I am going to make another this week. It worked great to lower its roll center but that is only half of what the RSC does.
