Re: DWMS Racing RD350 Build! We Are Starting The Engine Build New Photos!
First off, I have to say, I am not an engineer. I don't pretend to be one, I don't play one on TV, I'm not even blood related to one.
These are not design plans. These are not to scale. These are simply an idea "put to paper". Ok? Ok
Here's about what I was talking about.
This would be the mount and plate Extended...
This would be stowed...
(shown for reference. The plate/mount assembly would be hidden under the seatpan)
And this would be a very rough sketch of the assembly...
The mount would slide out of the assembly so that the plate would be visible while riding, and stow invisibly under the seat while parked.
The hinge slot would have to be cut so as the plate would only rotate down to a certain angle, or a stop would have to be fabricated. A spring could be installed, and using the hinge pin as a fulcrum would keep tension on the plate bracket to keep it in the angled position. When retracted under the seat, a slight "kick up" on the plate bracket would hold the plate horizontal and off the tire.
I'm not sure what you could use for stops. Maybe cut a slot in the fixed portion of the assembly, and thread a bolt into the sliding portion of the assembly.
To extend from the stowed position, you would reach under the seatpan, grab the plate and pull out. Once out, the hinge/spring would lower the plate to the desired position for riding.
To stow from the extended position, you would lift the plate horizontal and push the sliding assembly forward. Concealing the plate under the seatpan.
