SupermonoApril 2008
We are continuing to develop a range of transmission parts for the 4 stroke motorcross engines being converted for use in supermono racing. Close ratio road race style 5 speed gear clusters have been produced for the CRF450 and YZF450 engines. Higher ratio primary gears for the CRF engine are now available. A 6 speed gearbox for the CRF450 has successfully completed its first meeting, being placed 6th and 4th in the British Supermono Championship rounds at the Snetterton race track on 11th and 12th April. |
DesignThe Design ProcessNova Racing Ltd. are specialists in the design of motorcycle and small vehicle parts. This process may or may not be followed by the manufacture of the parts within Nova.
Concept / Layout DrawingsAfter discussions with the client about the work required, and agreeing specifications for the product, a concept scheme is produced. This is usually in the form of free hand drawings and the result of internal discussions about function, materials and manufacturing aspects of the work. Assembly DrawingsA 3D model of the individual components is prepared in simple form. This design work is carried out taking special note of the manufacturing processes available in the Nova workshop. The individual components are linked together in an assembly drawing to ensure that interference is avoided. This work is normally performed within Autodesk’s Mechanical Desktop.

The drawing contains all the necessary information for product manufacture by Nova staff. If required, detailed drawings can also be supplied for alternative manufacture. |
