Captiain Q. do you think original lots on Schwimmwagen or newly done?

Both old and new parts, some parts are only available old, like the transmission. But I use new parts if they are available aswell. I do not have a problem with new or old. But I need a gearbox most of all

Asked I'm Sameleona, to you photos on forum placed. Because I know do hands, but work with PC much I don't know.
This project wagon 877 is horrible long. Last over already 20 years. Behind that time I'm rounded up all lots to type 877.
Here I send couple of pictures undercart. I am sorry for bad quality pictures.

that frame head looks to be reinforced pretty heavily.

Does seem counter intuitive that it would not just break off.

Okay, torque is a measurement so that equation wasn't trying to teach a physics lesson. And weight at ( a certain moment) in motion around an axis would have been a better way for me to put it in laymans.
But where is your axis ? Very Happy

Heres my diff casing in the raw, it's very strong and heavy, what you see here is two pieces and you can clearly see how it attatches to the front beams/torsion tubes.

I doubt its weak where it attatches to the body because as you can see there are many bolts that attatch it the body and that area is reinforced and it is also attatched to the body via the front beams.

Because I don't know English plus use translator, so I think, that the symposium is about it whether is tunnel in front enough reinforced. I'm not sure, whether is that a rather reinforced but because these rolling stock be not doing in series so it is possible, that the in using come to some problems. It will catch sight of.
Photograph fore final drive housing are nice to, but this final drive housing is from type 166. Don't belong to on type 877. I I have on photographs this final drive housing, but this to the wagon will not come. Shall I original that the there belongs to.

what material was used to cast the front diff and frame head? is it cast iron? steel? aluminum alloy? an approximative weight in kg?

thanks

Great pics!

I find it even more curious that there doesn't seem to be anything to support the shear force along the face of the flange. Unless the bolt bore clearances are very tight, the diff would want to slip upward on the flange when the beam is loaded. I don't think I see any kind of lip on the tunnel flange to support this.

On the grey museum car you see a reinforcement on the underside of the floorpan. I think the setup is strong enough for the frontdiff. The house is bolted to the frame....On a normal beetle the head is welded on the tunnel. Not that big difference to me. The bolt holes are probably welded tubes trough the Napoleon hat on the frame.

Kapt , Is that a new cast front house?
