Lst2 cvds and hubs on a Savage

[lincpimp]

I have some new ideas and wanted to put this up in the right section.

So far I have figured a way to put the lst2 hubs on a stock savage arm. Not difficult at all.

Here are the pics, pretty self explanatory:






Problem is the lst cvd required a 6mm longer lower arm, and a 126mm long upper arm.

After looking alot I am finding it quite hard to find a suitable replacement for the lower arm.

So I figure I can make some new hingepin braces that are 6mm wider on each side. The bulks will have to be trimmed so that the hingepin can sit 6mm farther away from the bulk. The hingepin braces will be the only thing holding the pins, but most truggies are held this way, so it should be strong enough. I will likely use much thicker material so I can thread holes next to the pin holes and use m4 thread scres to hold the pins in.

This is the hingepin brace, as stock, imagine the holes 6mm farther away from the center.



Here is a pic of the plastic bulk. The red area indicates where I would remove material. I will try to retain as much material as possible, so a 6mm slot would provide clearance.



So we have retained the stock lower arms, and hingepins. Only part to make will be the pin brace.
