Did Luc miss his vocation ???

Referring to some people he looks like professor “Gobelijn”, but 1 thing is sure, the calibration of the fuel gauge is completely screwed up, I mean okay.

We took 25 calibration points, and between 2 points we calculate everything by interpolation.
Despite the sensor is not 100% linear, we are sure we are pretty accurate.​

Update R-Box website …

Due to the fact we come close to the finish, we have decide to reorganize our website a little bit.

In the past it was all about the technical stuff, but not everyone is interested in all technical details. For sure we keep posting technical messages but you will not be redirected anymore to the news tab by default.

The home page describes a bit more about R-box, who are we and what our the goals. From there you can navigate down to all other sections who will get a significant update too in the coming weeks.

Happy reading !!​

The petrol tank..step by step

Some pictures from the building of the new tank in the BMW.​

It was not possible to finish everything because we decided last minute to mount a Staubli connection on the filling hose. This means that we have to change the anodized top mount plate.

We’ve already sent the modified drawings to Tempac to get the plate cut out by laser once again. After this operation it needs to be anodized again.

Safety first …

With the images of Renaud Verreydt during the Condroz rally still fresh in mind, we have decide to redo the complete pump/filter unit in the trunk.
Some of the Goodridge tubes are not properly protected in case of an impact.

Murphy’s law…

Although we are not fond of Murphy we like to be prepared.

This means that we are already duplicating some critical parts. ​

Most of the bending and cutting for the radiator has been done.

It just needs to be welded together.

Spare wheel slide gets major update ….

Since we have grown our fuel tank we needed to restyle the framework of our spare wheel slide.
Additionally in the previous version , nothing was implemented to prevent mud falling from the wheel.

There fore we constructed a closed la slide so we do not spoil mud,… on our flashy tank.
The unit became also less complex and we have also found a location for the jack.​
