Fall 2024 Dayfixing - repairing Daybreak

Wheels down: 12/9/2024

i.e. we have 3 months

Leads 9/10: outline for repairs

• Dynamics: suspension and steering at the beginning and for the most part can be worked on separate until suspension extended control arm length finalized-ish

  • Wishbone elongate -

    • redesigning - two weeks

      • a bit dependent on comms w aeroshell and wheel cutouts

      • reinforce shell between access panel and wheel cutout w panel glue / layups / etc.

    • bearing inserts purchase after design changes to wishbone - two week wait time

    • manufacturing wishbones - waterjetting(?) = wait time

    • maybe need to re-sim the bellcranks (last prio)

  • Steering -

    • dependent on suspension new geometry and wheelcutout interference

    • purchasing a new rack - waiting time

    • new longer tie rods update cad and manufacture, helicoiling

  • steering column mount welding -

    • maybe need to order the tubes for it? - design and add to cad - 2 weeks? waiting time for order

    • then weld - midway through dynamics completion/after new rack for testing and fitting for compliance

  • Shock Extender - last in suspension

    • do we need to redesign? - machining time - 1.5 week

  • Fix tabs welding (low key fergo job) - new stronger/thicker tabs - last

    • want to maybe run sims on new/old frame tabs - parallelize
