Diamond Geezer! Big kiss from Zerda X

Tyre dia. 80mm width 32mm . 20 rows of studs in pairs and threes alternating. Studs 4.5x6mm with 1x3dimple. Dimple abt 1mm deep. Stud height 3mm. Triple row 25.5mm. double row 19.5mm. wheel dia 40mm

They look a bit worn and gluey, rims scratched. I'll post some pics of mine, maybe they'll help. I guess treads can be reconstructed in CAD The thing is that for being able to model a tire, I need proper measurement : I need to understand the way the profile looks, the thickness of the profile, the...

Very good data. Thanks a lot! The most difficult is to get the internal profile right. I should get the complement data when I get my hands on my friend's depleted tires... It requires to unmount the tires and use a tool to measure the thickness in different points of the profile (below the picture...

Suspension axles pretty soft, I've straightened a few with pliers or on a small anvil. If by fixations you mean the small split pins I made some out of single core telephone wire wrapped around a pin to make a loop . They only need to resist pulling out with moderate force.

I rubbed a bit of silicon grease on tyres. All I can say is it doesn't seem to have done any harm.

As sunset is in the west I must be east of it. Romulus on a wi...

Great work, should have a BOM in the bag.

Watch out for different size front suspension arms between 44b and zerda. Part nos. Ct1 on 44b and zr1 zerda
I haven't compared the dogbones but could if you want

Re LWB bumper, yes quite different on reflection.

About 172mm length

I don't think they put adjustable castor on zerda because it has castor angle on the front of the chassis plate. I guess no harm in having adjustable castor on a zerda but I haven't compared any effect on dogbone length and Zerda/44b front suspension arms are different lengths anyway. Is adjustable ...

It's turned into "A Tale of Two Zerdas"
Painted the penguin driver, not perfect paint job, not even good but better'n nowt.
Still some tinkering opportunities.

This shows front anchorages zerda and 44B Rear zerda shock plate orientation allows cage around the shock.
