How did you mount the plate to the pumpkin.

I mounted it to the tab that use to be used for the steering link then drilled another hole in that tab toward the back and then to the knuckle screw...if that makes sense. It is the tab off of the upper link mount...it seems very stable.

Makes plenty of sense. Good Idea.

4x4dodge · 05-04-2007, 09:18 PM

Well I finally got everything fully assembled and it works great. Couldn't have done it without that template!

Harley · 05-04-2007, 11:47 PM

^^^BEEEEFY!!

Looks good man. Glad it worked out for ya.

Harley · 05-07-2007, 11:19 AM

The BTA version now has an updated template available.

I do not have my axles here at the office so somone will need to cut it out and check to make sure all the holes line up properly.

Again, DO NOT PM ME, my box fills up so fast I can't stand it.

Hey Harley, i just wanted to say thanks for the pdf!!! I didnt follow the pattern so much other than around the pumpkin...I went with a bent method then mounted the servo with servo mounts...there is so much strength and even more clearance from hitting the stock chassis!!!

thanx tho!!

Harley · 05-08-2007, 09:56 PM

Looks good. Just like everything else in this niche of our hobby, everything is always able to be customized

Thanks for the props

Josh

JasonInAugusta · 05-10-2007, 08:15 AM

Harley, don't know why I didn't think about this sooner, email me the .pdf files and I'll host them.

JasonInAugusta · 05-10-2007, 08:27 AM

Here they are for anyone that wants them:

Notice that the file "WK Plans" is three pages.

Harley · 05-10-2007, 08:35 AM

Thanks JIA this should help clean out my mailbox now.

Thanks for all the intrest people!

I know other people have offered to host them before, but I am to the point now where it is hard to keep up with everyone.

Also, ALL of the templates are in that file: Servo mount, BTA servo mount, Clocked Motor plate.

clarkrw3 · 05-10-2007, 09:31 PM

Wow....my first sticky. Well actually it's your sticky Harley0706 with no help from me, but whatever. By the way your mount is working GREAT!!

Mac10 · 05-15-2007, 08:42 AM

Thanks harley for the template.
It worked great and saved me tons of time.
I would post a pic but I am at work and have very restricted access to the internet. somehow I can get this sight though. thank god!

just wanted to say thanks.

Offroader5 · 05-16-2007, 04:14 PM

Just made me a pair of these last night and have some clearance issues. Did anyone else have clearance problems at full turn with the "passenger" side knuckle arm coming in contact with the "third leg" of the mount where it screws to the axle C? Mine hits this third leg way before the steering reaches full throw. I will try and get some pics up tonight when I get home just in case I'm not explaining it well enough.

Post up a pic. I have a water jet cut version coming to me right now. We are running the same wheels so it should be similar. Otherwise.............get the dremel out!

jason3114 · 05-18-2007, 06:54 AM

Thanks a bunch for the kick a$$ templates! Im doing the BTA right now and making final adjustments. I am using 1/4" lexan instead of Aluminum. (friend had it, was free) so I will see how it holds out. Great templates, thanks again!

Harley · 05-18-2007, 06:59 AM

Make sure to check the template with the axle before you start cutting too much. The BTA one really hasn't been used yet.

Good luck and post some pics when you get it done.

Offroader5 · 05-18-2007, 08:56 AM

Still didn't get any pics, but I ended up just cutting the third leg off and it's steering lock to lock now. I made the mount out of 1/8" 6061 AL so I am pretty sure it'll hold up well without that additional mount leg. I get pics up tonight (if I remember

)

i believe the biggest reason why it was a clearance issue is because I have the tie rod mounted over the knuckle which made the whole rod end assembly on that passenger side a bit tall. I will end up having a drag link that is backwards also...it will go from the servo on the passenger side down to the drivers side knuckle.
