Light wieght travel frame

Mark Chase · 15th November 2005, 12:21

Over the last few months various members of this board have suggested they were in the process of constructing a light weight travel frame for the YBOD. Has there been any progress on this? John (Mdeamon) had a great looking idea but I seem to remember some others were in the pipe line. So any news?
Coz i want one

I posted a thread in this forum with some pictures of the last design we actually made.

Since then, we have improved the design to make it even stronger and change to the top-load instead of back-load.

We should be making a batch of 25 frames in 1-2 weeks (if anyone is interested).

I will have the exact price soon...

I hope you're not trying to attribute my great "Pad-o-Chassis" design to John are you?

I've not had time to get a prototype made, but I sent the design to Pete Steggle, so he may get something made before I do...

Don't be offended, but if you are after an open light-weight frame, the weenie frame without the cover is probably easiest to make and cheapest:

4 long vertical rods or tubes
6 short horizontal rods
2 flat bars

All welded together. Take any tank size. Easy to travel. Fit inside most carry-on. Any welder could throw it together in 30 minutes max.

Pictures are somewhere in the Gallery.

Not yet, but I have spoken to a few stainless fabricators... I need to sit down and put some dimensions to the beast before we commit a sheet to the plasma cutter.

Decoweenie,

Count me on the intrested list. The design looks good.
