| attachment of a composite shell to a spaceframe chassis Article by Peter Augenbergs created 1/15/2003 submitted 1/15/2004 12:06:21 PM traditonally, its not easy to attach a 6'x16' body to a frame that is not much bigger than a 6' tall person, and have it hold up at highway speeds. outlined below is how the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team attaches the aerobody/array to the chassis. | | |

| gap changer thingy Photo by Peter Augenbergs created 10/20/2003 submitted 11/10/2003 09:47:24 PM we retrofitted our gap changer with a hex shaft, but had no way of holding it in place. this slowed us down over the course of the race day, but we didnt notice until day 2 because the afternoon of day 1 was cloudy. this is me hacking up a wrench, which is glued to a socket with 5 minute epoxy. we zip-tied this on our gap changer in Alice Springs, and it kept us going 105 kph on day 3. | |
