Hey Oscar, I'm following your project from Brazil! Nice to see how do you do the things! Great work! Keep going!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you, OSCAR for your fountain of information and answer my question, keep up the great work.
My pleasure!
Good proyect, congratulations.
Thank you! Cheers!
It's looking fantastic!
Just subscribe! The algorithm will really love you posting every week. It should really help your channel grow.
Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel !
Nice to see how you plan your box (habitat). I've send you a PM and a comment on your foto's on the "other Social Chanel".
Got it! Thank you Frans !
One point; the hinge point on a 3 point system should be down between the frame rails, otherwise it will shift side to side when the frame flexes.
I am not sure I get what you are recommending ?
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF You talked about the hinge point in a 3 point system being very tall. It is a thing many who build 3 point systems get wrong, the point should be planar with the chassis, otherwise it will move laterally as the chassis moves, a bit like the top of the mast on a small boat moves, when the waves hit the hull.
@@Equine_moon I see you talking about the torsion free frame solution. Yes I don't like the tall build up, because the TF link is placed above the vehicle frame and the subframe ( habitat base ) above that link most likely same distance as the pivot link point above the vehicle frame. The distance from my vehicle frame to the underside of my habitat is only 6 inches ( 150mm ).
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF The TF link must be down between the rails of the vehicle frame. When the frame twists, it does it around a (virtual) centre point between the rails. If the TF link is above that, it will move from side to side when the frame twists. But there has to be a great distance between the vehicle frame and subframe, the vehicle frame can twist ALOT, like 20 degrees.
Your solution is perfect and thoroughly tested, and as you point out very low.
I have chosen another route on my LAF1113B, one that a lot have said is wrong, but I hope I’m right! Bit of a chance though😉
It’s a torsion free setup, but the TF link as you call it floats on airbags and a Watts linkage. With a 3D subframe, and parts of the subframe wider than the vehicle frame, mine is about 6” too, 150mm’s to be exact. You are from Germany originally, yes? I’m from Denmark. I have seen several of your videos now, very impressive work!👍🏻
@@Equine_moon Interesting would love to see that, if you go to my channel page you find a Facebook symbol at the top right corner. There you could post pictures.
I'm not an engineer but the most obvious reason for the notch or bevelled cut on the longitudinal member is to stop it point loading on the chassis. The notch or bevel will allow the frame you are adding to flex ever so slightly right at the front spreading the load
Makes perfect sense !
Great work. What are the overall dims of the box build and have you established an overall weight for the completed box?
Great question, I will add the answer in to my next video, thank you !
If you have an iPhone take picture of the paragraph in German you want to translate, then go to that picture, in the lower right corner you will see an icon that looks like a document with lines of text, tap that so it know you want to focus on only the text, then you will see a translate button show up in the left lower corner tap that button and it is translated to English.
THIS IS YOUR BEST OPTION - If you have windows 11 you can right click on your mouse on the German paragraph in the MB PDF, in the menu is the option *Search Images with Goggle*, tap that, it brings up a selector icon top middle of the screen for you to select by making a box around something, in this case the German paragraph, after you select the paragraph on the top right of the screen will be the paragraph you selected and three options: search, text, and translate, hit translate and it translates the paragraph perfectly keeping the original formatting. You can even select all after translation and move the translated paragraph to for example a Word doc if you wanted for future reference.
Lol, try to teach an old dog a new trick .... but great advise I will try the windows procedure, thank you !
Hello , concerning the notch at the end of the beam, Mitsubishi Fuso has the same requirement.
Interesting but not very surprising because Daimler owns Fuso : www.daimlertruck.com/en/products/trucks/fuso
quote :
Daimler AG acquired a 43 percent shareholding in Mitsubishi Fuso in 2003, as a spin-off of Mitsubishi Motor Corporation’s Truck & Bus Division. Since 2011, Daimler has held a stake of just under 90 percent. FUSO trucks are produced in Kawasaki, Japan, Oragadam near Chennai, India, and Tramagal, Portugal. FUSO buses are produced in Toyama, Japan. FUSO vehicles are also locally assembled at 16 knock-down plants around the world
Hi, interesting where are you from, as for me you have a german accent. PS. The quastion was answered a few minutes later))

@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF Hallo, noch mal. Haben Sie gedacht wegen Kontakt Korrosion zwischen Stahl und Aluminium. Die kann man verhindern nur mit vollem Isolierung Alu von Stahl.
