Did I dream that spring rate tester thread?

I'm sure I remember a thread on the running gear section, something to do with spring rate testing. Quite long it was, too. And recent.

Now I can't seem to find it.

Perhaps I imagined it.

Is that possible, for the OP to delete a whole thread? I'm inclined to think not, but I might be wrong

Yup

Try it with this one?

Nope entirely possible I'm afraid you just delete your first post and the whole thread gone The worst example of this was by CalvinX or Dragon ECU as he is now who aside from deleting all his threads when he threw all his toys out of the pram has also rendered numerous other threads nonsense by deleting all his postings

Oh great I'm not going mad then I was looking for this earlier also as I saw it alte last night and thought it might be interesting to do the calcs for this example and see what the spring rate could be.


watsonpj - 24/5/08 at 09:16 PM

oh its ok I've got the picture I needed after all
