Amazed that runout did not doom that bandsaw cut.
It cut pretty straight. What might be more amazing is that I had interference with the steel sheet and I had to reverse the piece and cut it from the other end to meet in the middle. Then I cleaned it up on the high speed belt sander. So yeah, it was better than I expected too.Amazed that runout did not doom that bandsaw cut.
Weaker yellow springs + higher mass = lower resonant frequency, perhaps closer to excitation.
As @blekenbleu said, there is less mass as part of the resonant circuit (excuse the electrical terms, but the physics are analog as the inverse of the spring constant can be seen as being equivalent to a capacitor and the mass being equivalent to an inductor) the spring and mass form on the pedals, so the resonance frequency increases by a factor of ~5 compared to the seat, probably to a point where energy is transmitted much more efficiently than far above the natural frequency. By lowering the spring constant by ~2-3 and the increased mass of the steel assembly you are compensating for that effect.Maybe so.
All I know is that it is working like a charm and I had a lot of fun driving today.
I'm going to try to get some good racing going in the early morning for a while.
I have a pedal base plate that sits on top of 4 isolators holding an LFE and TST. On top of that i put secondary plates, either containing my race pedals or my rudder pedals with quick-locks "metal-on-metal".Interesting. Do you have a fully suspended pedal deck including your pedals, or is it just a foot plate like mine.
I'm not sure the yellow springs would handle braking pressure well.
Maybe the language barrierYou missed my point that my pedals are rigidity attached to my chassis and the only sprung section is the plate my heals rest on. So having lighter springs has no impact on my braking.
