So I have been playing with the idea of adding a couple more tubes to the back of the Anklebiter. If you were to replace the back half of a 914 with tubes where would you put them? Here is a rendering of the original cage (red), drivetrain (Grey), and points that need to be tied in (green).
What would you do? Attached image(s) |

Thanks for the input guys, lots of great pics. I am going to try to remember my statics and mechanics of materials classes from when I was in engineering so I can calculate some loads. I figure if I use predominantly .065 wall tubing the entire rear structure should weigh around 50 pounds.
