just thought i would put this on found it while doing a search.
the blue bearing carriers can be found on

Hi! That´s right! It´s the same shape of the bearing carriers as I use, but not the same quallity. I use SKF bearings. One thing you must check is
the rpm speed the bearing will handle (topspeed of your car). In my case 2300rpm, I know that the SKF bearing will handle maximum 5300rpm, so that´s
ok. I´ve seen other cheaper bearings in my size "40-45mm". And they will only handle maximum around 2000rpm.
A SKF bearing with carrier costs around 650-750 skr + vat (25%) each. (~ £80 each incl. vat)

Man you do some lovely work...
Cant help thinking the bike frame is probably no longer needed and you could shed some weight tho...
Still want one mind

Thanks! Yes, well thought! The bikeframe is infact very needed in the construktion. If I take the bike frame off, I have to reinforce the everything
around the engine, and make new strong enginemounts and so on.. So the total weight will probably be higher if I make a equal strong construktion of
steel instead.

Fair do's, I will reserve judgement until its had a few hard drives..
Just from what I know about bike frames, the torsional rigididty isnt up to much, might have been fine for one wheel on a swing arm, but I would have
thought the additonal bracing required to get it stiff enough for 4 wheels, would have been sufficient to make it dead weight..
I can see the bracing you have on the bottom rear end mount, but the top looks like its bolted to the frame, well a lump of ally welded to the
frame...
I can see why you retained it for the 3 wheeler, I just thought extending the top mount onto the chasis with some triangulation, then some good engine
mounts would have saved some weight and given the torsional rigidity you need...
with the engine mounted at 3 points, it requires far less reinforcement than you would think...

The Mride C42 sportscar is now totally roadlegal!! Really cool!
This is some picts from my first legal trip with some icecreame eating.
This is my new carbonfibre fenders I+ve made to the car. Really nice I think.

Chris
Thanks everyone!! I´m very glad you like it!
The cyclewings is made by myself specially to the Mride car. So they are a little hard to find in the speedshop.
The Mride C42 car is 395cm long, 210cm wide and about 110cm high on the rolloverbar behind the driver. So it´s a rather big toy. The weight is 570kgs
+ driver and the power is still ca 280-300hp. Topspeed is reduced to 240km/h for better acc.

I'm curious about the diff cover, about how it can hold grease/oil from leaking out. Yes I know it'll be sealed, but it seems to me that
as the differential heats up, it's going to pressurize the lubricant and push it out through your gaskets... Let us know what happens.
Also glad to see you switched to 4-wheels. I couldn't help but smile when no times were given after your drag racing. I knew it was because the
lack of traction caused really slow times. Not any more.
Also, about the rear brakes, did you run through the numbers to see if they're sufficient? Yeah I know there's two of them, but
there's a lot more weight being decellerated by them than on the bike, where there's about zero weight on the rear tire under braking.
Just wondering.
Lastly, about the diagonal aluminum brace on the diff... it bugs me. Either:
A. There's a lot of side force and it'll be way, way too weak.
or
B. All cornering and twisting forces are handled by the surrounding tube chassis, so it isn't needed at all.
What am I missing?

Hello there!
The diffcover and breathing: Yes, that question have I asked my self to. But as I see it wouldn´t the grease in the diff heat up at all (compairing
to a stock cardiff) due to the diff isn´t wipping up the oil and when driving straight forward my diff hasn´t internat movement at all- Just
centrifugal force so the only time the diff is producing heat is when turning. And then the speed diffrencebetween the rear wheels is making a slow
movement in the diff. Bus as I see it is that so little so I don´t thing it´s going to be a huge problem. So far it´s working exelent.
About the rear brakes. I think you have missunderstod my choice of parts a bit. ;-)
When beeing a 3-wheeler I used the stock rear bike breake. That rotor is about 20cm in dia and had a one piston caliper. That was as you said rather
small to handle the heat- On the track the rotor whent blue. .
Now I use 2x 300mm FRONT rotors with 4-piston alu calipers from a honda cpr 900rr. The break pads aria is almost 4 times the size as last year. Thease
front rotors is fully floating so they can handle much more heat then regular rotors without twisting. The difference in breake force is really big =
breaking 1,2G:s with cold tyres.
The diagonal bracing on the diff:
= B
The bracing is just to prevent the diff form twisting under cornering from its own wheight. There is no other lateral force on the diff. The
front/back force is handled by 2 upper M16 bolts and 2 lower adjustible M16 "chain tension" 300mm long bolt. TOTAL overkill but I don´t
want it to fail.

Ah, okay, I didn't realize your rear brakes were the bike *front* brakes. Much better!!

Hello!
I´ve published two videos from the SFRO roadtesting day. SFRO is a organisation that´s testing your vehicle several times during the building process
to get it roadlegal!
Fun!
Visit my website to see the videos.

I have now tested the Mride C42 sportscar in a slalom corse to see how the suspension works. I´m really pleased with everyting I couldn´t ask for
anything better regarding to ballance and behavor.
