Interesting idea.. but surely this would only work if you could "push down" the body over the post for 5 or 8mm so you could swing the bar 'round?
how about having a slot in the body, and turning a bar like this in a flat "yaw" plane, so it locks the body down when turned 90 degrees from the slot's orientation.
But even so, it'd not be very well located in the direction of the slot, and the slot would be weaker than simple round hole. Hmm..
How about just a thumbscrew over a threaded post?
or just had another idea - how about an arrangement something like the disc holder in a DVD-box, where you push down on the middle of a three-pronged affair and the prongs move in a bit, releasing a the hole in the body.
Or even simpler, just two "barbed" split pin that would go though the hole and snap open, holding the body in place. Between the two halves of the split pin, you could jam someting in there when you need the body secure. a little rib or something could retain it. Hmmm. I guess a picture would be helpful here. will post again with one.
...thinking through my fingertips here...
Cheers,
Ty

I would never advise them! The amount of people I see run them on TC's and the come off in a crash or roll then ruin their heat/final cos of the body coming off and on! |
