Keyser Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sorry for the delay - had to eat Nom Nom - anyway on with the show Some of you (like Trig who I know can weld better than me) may have noticed the bird crap welding in some of the pics - This was down to my little 135Amp Mig just not having enough power to really get good penetration on such heavy metal - But my neighbour came round to see what I was up to and said "You wanna borrow my welder" he has a lovely new SuperMig 185 - "O yes" Says I Then I neatened up my welds and things were a lot easier Stripped out and back in the Zed Shed Strung up for a spot of paint Then out in the sun to dry The legs got a coat of yellow so they stand out as they will now remain in the trailer All back in and looking good Starting to load her up - The tyre rack takes all 6 spares that's a full set of slicks plus 2 spare rear wets Takes 2 of us about 10 mins to remove or install the 5 parts - 5 parts to make them an easy 2 man lift.

Wasso Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Good show sir Looks like it was made for the trailer (OEM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I carry this to track A 12v jump pack with Anderson connector which is great as it powers the winch and acts as slave battery for the Radical, The problem is the cable is about 2 foot long and I have to climb over the bonnet of the car to plug it in or out so I made an extension so I can just grab it and plug it in without climbing over the car on-board. The other advantage is I have a set of jump leads with crocodile clips on one end and an Anderson plug on the other so I can connect any battery or even jump it from the truck if the battery goes flat when I'm out and about. Last but not least, The remote for the winch is 3.5m long - the trailer is 4.2m long so it is very hard to steer a car from the road onto the trailer on your own, So of course I extended the remote by 5m this was aided by a little present I got in the post on Saturday - Can you guess who sent it??? Anyway rude not to use it, so I did for the extension joints Of course he only sent small gauge heat shrink so to finish it off I had the perfect thing Keyser and The Zed Shed Crew 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys @ Wasso - I can't say that the inspiration for the design was completely from my own concept I just made a variant on a theme so to speak OK OK I blatantly ripped of this design and replaced the front shelf with a tyre rack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Great job. Unfortunately if you race a Radical you can only use Radical parts at their astronomical cost, otherwise it will not pass scrutineer.. Talk about a monopoly..!! Track days no problem.. Tell me about it! Lucky for me I have a contact that races a Radical and I get his part worn bits at a fraction of the cost - they fit new tyres every race as well as brake shoes so they have plenty of consumables at bargain prices. My Radical is out to pasture now, she was owned by a professional race team in the past so has been well maintained from what we can tell. Now she is my biggest toy and has the relatively easy job of making me crap my pants and giggle like a little school girl a few days a year at track days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_2424 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ever thought about competing in Hillclimbs and Sprints with it? There are plenty of PR6 and SR3 Radicals competing so would be good competition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of PR6 and SR3 Radicals competing so would be good competition! I was supposed to start this year Andy James who already does it in his SC 350z is helping me sort my race license etc but we had a busy year last year so I didn't get everything sorted in time - maybe next season Edited March 23, 2015 by Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
