pivot point (gear change)*update*
eccsmk - 20/5/09 at 11:21 AM

im trying to make a pivot point to join two rods from my paddleshift
has anyone got any idea's or suggestions
pictures would be ideal,
here are some really poor piccys






the distance between the rods (side to side) is 50mm
front to rear is 50mm and the rod from the padles should sit 80mm above the piece of alu in the second pic
thank you

ive managed to get my mock up linkage working and its pretty good
i connected the paddles up on their own for a start then added my gear lever back in
a few pics to show whats been done








all i have to do now is made some better looking rods etc but im going to do a bit more testing first
