Tolerances? The GR01's were + 1mm if I remember right

[ewan]

At very worst these are +/-0.1mm on part dimensions or +/-0.2mm on overall dimensions such as the distance from front to rear section mounting holes. It's a big step-up in precision from the GR01's

[maddox10]

So, enlarging the 2 front holes, redrilling the 2 aft holes, adding some washers and shorten the axle should make it a 1 on 1 replacement for the GR01.

Shame both Conker II and Binky were water jet cut to match the GR01's, we are going to have to re drill those beautifully cut bases now

Or try to find some second hand ones

[archie2000]

or make some different gr-02 mounts

[ewan]

Progress is being made, the shafts should be finished by Tuesday then gearbox assembly will begin in earnest.

[ewan]

Having costed up the options we will be offering an external bearing kit for the GR02 for those who want to place a load or wheel on the end of the shaft but don't have bulkheads in which to put a support bearing. The bearing block itself may of course be used separately from the GR02 as well.

Apologies for the appallingly coloured render(!):

That I like. Really good idea. Makes the whole product more flexible (not like that!) and brings them back into line for replacing drills.

[Bodge Job]

Aha while I was reading though this I was thinking of suggesting that, but I guess you already had thought of it! And they look great though, may have to finally invest in a bruiser 1 upgrade, considering we break at least 1 drill gearbox and motor every event it may just become cheaper in the long run to replace them with those, plus the different ratios looks interesting means I could get more speed using 4wd!
