...would be the best description for today's engineering.
So, here it is. While sitting in the office at work, I gave a lot of thought to the roll centre, and camber angles that it influences. The worst thing is that I have conscience. And not the human type - the engineering type. And my conscience was bothering me for a long time (somehow with a German accent) saying : "Nein nein nein nein nein! The rear of the chassis is too wide. Too much camber angle on rear wheels when rolling!" So, today, before starting the work on rear wishbones I decided to fix the rear first. Basically had to remove everything. Check. It probably took a day to create it and an hour to remove it. But it feels good now. The voices in my head are not so loud anymore.
On to the wishbones. Finished the top and the bottom one. That's kinda it.
The most difficult part now is to make everything fit, while not knowing how to mount the differential and the fuel tank. Will have to guess, I guess. (Nein! First make sure the diff and the tank would fit!). Yeah, great, now I have to engineer a fuel tank and a diff just to bolt on two wishbones. That means more work, that means more engineering, that means more Inventor and that means it's going to be exciting.
All in all the visual progress is nill. Though the mental progress is significant. Just like running on a treadmill. (Thank you, captain obvious, for the explanation)
