Science Abuse Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Just had this idea. http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8904/quadyo1.png Use material that is a little thicker than your cable. BE SURE that your groove is smooth. dont just grind burs off, sand it dilligently. Do it well and you can have any size or profile quad you want with very little money invested.

You've never wanted a clutch to do exactly what you want. I'm in a position where open market quads aint doing it. It's actually very easy. Saw, sander, MIG. You could probably hold them together with tapped holes/screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 What do you need? A quadrant with more cam motion to create more pull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 more pull, less pedal movement, and I don't have much space. I'm going for a weird kinda quick-release quad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I did this about 4 years ago. The red one is Pro Motion Quick Release and the one behind it is the aluminum one I made for guys using the twin disk style clutches. I was selling these for 20 bucks but have since ran out but do need to make another batch as I have had requests. I have probably sold about 50 of them. http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/450008558/7.jpg http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/450008558/8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Do you work at a machine shop, or can you actually get one to make those at those prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 WTF is this shit about?! lol. If I'm remembering correctly...On cable-type clutch cars the quadrant is what determines the ratio of pedal movement/position to the actual amount of pull the cable exerts on the fork/throwout bearing. If you change the shape/ramp of the quadrant it will change how fast/far the cable pulls in relation to you pushing on the pedal. Since you likely have all cars with hydraulic clutches, I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't dealt with a cable clutch vehicle yet so this is something I have never seen before. *shrugs* I'm always willing to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
