Quality rebuild to gain a blaster

[Kieran]

Got some work done to the sprocket/disc protector piece, it had to be reshaped to allow for the carrier.

Last pic with no hubs, just wanted to see what it looks like.

Today Im removing the swinger to reweld the tacs and strengthen it.

 

[Drifz1]

mig or arc welder?

 

[Kieran]

Arc, using 6013 rod, mostly 2.5mm

 

[Kieran]

Finished the swinger, got it acid etched.

Realised my battery box was pure sh*te, so made a a good one, dont know what i was thinking with the last one.

And poly bushed the shocks

 

[scotj77]

about time you did somethin. lmao! good job man

 

[Muggzy]

Hey Kieran,
Good to see you're still at it. I gotta ask, how do you plan to adjust the chain?

 

[scotj77]

I think the motor moves on it's mounts.

Yeah I remember my first Chinkmobile.....I still have scars. =]

 

[Kieran]

Thanks for the comments, Yea it can move on the mounts, hard to see it it the picc, very awkward way as it was not fully designed that way, I will have to probably make up something again for better adjustment.

Scot, yea took a brake school got in the way, im still in school, but literaly dropped everything once I knew I had no work on this weekend and went straight into it.

Anyway, today I mounted the hydro, had to make up a new mount as changing carrier ment I could not use the original.

Thought I had a better pic.

Also Im in the process of making a fender/bumper, from just a basic design.

A bead on the bracket for the hydro, little angles/channels were in place when I welded, hense the nice flow.

Thanks for keeping interest lads.

Haha thanks man, I like using the arc for welding, but would take a MIG anyday for some of the things I have to weld.

Nice work with a chink. Blasters can be got cheap. Check Donedeal, Seen a few with less work needed, something like a new axle or a blown gasket.

Yea tried Donedeal, didnt find any that needed rebuilding at the times, only mint ones going for about 1,500. If nothing else, Its safe to say im the only one in the world rebuilding a china quad haha

 

[Kieran]

Got a better pic of the bracket that i made up for the hydro.

Also got new pads for the calliper

Finally finished off the frame and got it cleaned up, got a first coat of primer on it tonight.

I just read through this, first of all you are a great welder. But i am a little bit skeptical about the swing arm. I also give you props for being so headstrong, haha you shut the people up that told you not to try it

that looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet man !!!!!!!!! what rods you use for it?

 

[Kieran]

Thanks man, 2.5mm 6013, its the best for heavier steel, the outer steel is 16mm and inner bars are 10mm. Its very easy to weld when the steel is alot thicker.

 

[Drifz1]

i tought it was chrome lol ! do you beed like this (((((((((( -> that direction or 000000 > ? lol

 

[IGottaPee]

I just had an idea for the chain tentioner, what you could do is weld a 3-6mm thick piece of steel to your swinger, bolt a chain roller onto it and use washers or spacers if needed, then slot it however much adjusting you need. Should cost you 10-20 USD.
