Scaling Drivers
Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2018 12:04 pm
Hello
I'm just starting in this hobby and I have a question that should be easy for most of you! I want to cast my own 80" drivers, having the 17 spokes, like a Pennsy. I have a prototype drawing, which is a 17 spoke center but my drawing is for a 72" center casting. I'm thinking that seeing as the tyres are approx 2 1/2 thick, and if you take that times 2, would make the center for the 80", finished driver, at least 75", is that correct? If that is the case then here is my question. Can I use my drawing for the 72" centers and scale it up that little bit, and will it still be correct?
