Magalimoto abwino kwambiri am'mphepete mwa nyanja omwe amapezeka ku Australia

Bruce Meyers anali paulendo wopita ku njira yopambana pomwe adapanga ngolo yoyamba yam'mphepete mwa nyanja mu 1964.

"Dune buggy" kapena, mokulirapo, "botolo la m'mphepete mwa nyanja" waku Australia ndi tanthauzo lalikulu masiku ano. Kuphatikiza pa kugwedezeka kwatsopano kwa ngolo zachisangalalo za anthu osakwatiwa komanso okhala pawiri, zida zosiyanasiyana zopangira kunyumba zidawonekera zomwe zimawonedwa ngati ngolo za m'mphepete mwa nyanja kwa zaka zambiri. Ambiri a iwo anali ankhanza, ambiri a iwo anali magalimoto oseketsa, ndipo onse anali oopsa.

Koma ngati mukufunadi mawonekedwe oziziritsa komanso osangalatsa a ngolo yeniyeni ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja, ndiye kuti tikulankhula za fiberglass bodywork (yamtundu wake) pa chassis yoziziritsidwa ndi mpweya ya Volkswagen. 

Sikuti magalimoto ojambulirawa ndi kutanthauzira koyambirira kwa lingaliro la mayendedwe amtundu wonse, minimalist, yopanda mayendedwe, amathanso kuyendetsa mwalamulo m'misewu yaku Australia. Zambiri kapena zochepa.

Nkhaniyi inayamba m’zaka za m’ma 1960 kugombe la Kumadzulo kwa United States, kumene wotulukira zinthu, mmisiri, ndi wokonda ndodo zotentha wotchedwa Bruce Meyers, mwa zina, anamanga mabwato a fiberglass. 

Anazindikira kuti dziko la chikhalidwe cha mafunde amafunikira galimoto yotsika mtengo, yosangalatsa, komanso yothandiza kuti apite ndi kuchokera ku gombe, ndipo ndi lingaliro losavuta limenelo, Meyers Manx dune buggy inapangidwa.

Lingaliro lidachokera ku chassis yokhayo yomwe idapangidwa ndi Meyers kuti isinthe zimango za Volkswagen kukhala zida zodzipangira nokha zomwe zidangolowera papulatifomu yonse ya VW kupanga galimoto ya fiberglass yopanda zitseko, chitetezo chochepa cha nyengo, magwiridwe antchito okwanira kuti akhale othandiza. ndi zosangalatsa. kuposa chilungamo cha boma. Ndipo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, ngolo iliyonse yochokera ku VW-based dune kapena gombe la nyanja yakhala yotsutsana ndi lingaliro loyambirira la Meyers. 

Lingaliro linali lakuti munagula zida za thupi la Manx (kapena mtundu uliwonse umene unabwera pampikisano panthawiyo), munapeza Volkswagen Beetle yomwe inagwiritsidwa ntchito, inavula thupi lakale la VW, kufupikitsa pansi kotero kuti miyeso yake inali yolondola, kenako ndikuyiyika. . ku zida za Manx, zomwe zimaphatikizapo thupi la tub, zotchingira, mawilo ndi matayala, ndi makina oyambira monga makina otulutsa mpweya kuti agwirizane ndi thupi latsopano. 

Ngati simukufuna kufupikitsa underbody (gawo lovuta kwambiri laukadaulo lakusintha), mutha kugulanso mtundu wamipando inayi womwe umagwiritsa ntchito VW pansi.

Ndizosadabwitsa kuti mafani ena amagalimoto apita patali kwambiri ndikuyika injini ya V8, kuyimitsidwa kwapamwamba, mawilo akulu ndi matayala, ndikusintha kwina komwe kumachepetsa kuphweka ndi kukongola kwa lingaliro loyambirira. 

Ngolo ya dune ili ndi gulu lotsatira.

Koma atasiyidwa monga momwe Meyers amaonera, ngoloyo ndi yopepuka, yachangu, yolimba, yokhoza kusuntha pamchenga komanso chisangalalo chenicheni kuyendetsa kulikonse. Bola sikuchita chipale chofewa.

Ku Australia, kupenga kwafalikira kwambiri, ndipo lingaliroli lili ndi mafani ake. M'zaka za m'ma 1970, makampani angapo aku Australia anali kupanga zida za ngolo. 

Mayina ena sakudziwika kwenikweni, koma okonda ngolo adzawazindikira. Astrum, Manta, Taipan anali ena mwamakampani omwe amapikisana nawo pabizinesi pamsika waku Australia.

Osati kuti ndi kusankha kwanu koyamba paulendo wapakati, koma chomwe chimapangitsa kuti ngolo yapanyanja ikhale yothandiza ndikuti imatha kulembetsedwa ndikuyendetsedwa pamsewu. 

Chabwino, ndiye lingaliro mulimonse, chifukwa kukhala kusakanikirana kwa magawo a Volkswagen ndi mapulasitiki opangidwa pambuyo pake, sikukhala kophweka.

M'zaka za m'ma 70, ngolo za m'mphepete mwa nyanja zinali zokwiya kwambiri.

Vuto limodzi lomwe mungalithetse pomanga zida zatsopano ndikusankha mtundu wa mipando inayi yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito nsanja ya VW yokwanira. 

Pochotsa kufunika kofupikitsa chassis, mudzalambalala bwino ntchito yambiri komanso zovuta zazikulu zaukadaulo ndi ziphaso zomwe mungakumane nazo. 

Mayiko ena samalembetsa ngolo yofupikitsa konse, pomwe ena amafunikira chivomerezo chauinjiniya. 

Kulikonse komwe mungapite, muyenera kuyang'ana zofunikira za chigawo chanu ndi gawo lanu, ndipo njira yabwino yochitira izi ndi kugwiritsa ntchito ntchito za injiniya wothandizira, yemwe adzafunika kusaina zotsatira zomaliza asanalembetse. .

Ngakhale mutapeza injiniya yemwe angamvetsere mapulani anu, pali zinthu zina zomwe sizingakambirane zomwe angakakamire. 

Ngati mukugwiritsa ntchito injini yamphamvu, ndiye kuti mabuleki a Beetle sangakwane. Omanga anzeru amakhalanso ndi mtundu wina wa chitetezo cha rollover (lingaliro labwino kwa galimoto iliyonse yotseguka), ndi zipangizo zamakono monga malamba otsitsimula ndizowonjezera kwambiri.

Upangiri wabwino kwambiri ndikupeza mainjiniya omwe amakhulupirira kuti masomphenya anu atha kukwaniritsidwa ndikukhalabe nawo ndikutenga upangiri wawo mozama. 

Ndipo pezani injiniyayo musanatenge wrench yoyamba kapena kugwiritsa ntchito dola yoyamba, chifukwa si akatswiri onse omwe amatanthauzira malamulo ndi malamulo mofanana ndi yotsatira. 

Ngakhale mutapeza injiniya woti akupatseni kuwala kobiriwira, dziwani kuti muyenera kudumpha muzitsulo zambiri kuti mugwiritse ntchito mwalamulo chinthu ichi m'misewu, ndi chirichonse kuchokera ku galasi lamoto lopangidwa ndi laminated kupita kumatope odalirika. zofunika malinga ndi kumene mukukhala. 

Nthawi zovuta kwambiri, mungafunike kuyika zida zambiri zowongolera kuwononga chilengedwe ndipo mwinanso kupanga zotulukapo zake kuti mugwiritse ntchito mafuta opanda lead. Zonse zimakhala zovuta kwambiri.

Ichi ndichifukwa chake yankho la anthu ambiri okonda ngolo ndikugula galimoto yomwe idagwiritsidwa kale ntchito yomwe idalembetsedwa kale (ndipo ili m'marekodi awo olembetsa).

Zinthu zinali zosavuta kwambiri m'zaka za m'ma 1970, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti kunali kosavuta kulembetsa ndi kupanga galimoto ngati ngolo ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja. 

Ngati mungapeze ngolo yogwiritsidwa ntchito yomwe idalembetsedwabe, mudzakhala ndi zovuta zochepa ndipo mungofunika kupereka chiphaso chotsimikizira kukhala panjira m'maboma ndi madera ambiri.

Ichi ndichifukwa chake mitengo ya ngolo zogwiritsidwa ntchito m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndizokwera kwambiri. Koma poyerekeza ndi kuvutitsidwa ndi ndalama zoyambira pachimake, mutha kupeza kuti ndizotsika mtengo. 

Ndipo ngati mukupanga kuyambira pachiyambi, yambani ndi zida zomwe zili ndi zikalata zovomerezeka zaukadaulo zomwe aboma angayang'ane panjira yolembetsa.

Amango aliyense wapanyumba wokhala ndi luso lapakati komanso zida zoyambira zamanja azitha kusonkhanitsa ngolo kuchokera pa zida ndi VW Beetle yosweka. 

Bugle, thupi la fiberglass loyikidwa pa chassis ya Volkswagen ndi injini.

Palibe zovuta kapena zovuta pazambiri zomwe zimapanga ngolo ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja, koma monga chilichonse, kutenga nthawi yanu ndikufunsana ndi anthu odziwa ndi njira yanzeru yogwirira ntchito ngati iyi.

Ngati mukuyenda njira yamagalimoto ogwiritsidwa ntchito, musade nkhawa kwambiri ndi momwe makina amagwirira ntchito. Ziwalo zachikumbu ndi zolimba, zosavuta komanso zosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito, ndipo ngati mukufuna kukweza magawo kapena kusintha mbali iliyonse ya magwiridwe antchito, mwina palibe galimoto yabwinoko yosamalidwa bwino kuposa VW yodzichepetsa.

Cholakwika chokha chomwe anthu ambiri amachipanga ndichakuti amangoganiza kuti chifukwa ndi galimoto yapulasitiki yokhala ndi makina ocheperako, ikhala yotchipa kugula. 

Zowona ndizosiyana kwambiri, ndipo chidwi cha magalimoto akale amitundu yonse posachedwapa chakankhira mitengo m'gawo losadziwika. 

Tsopano ndizotheka kugwiritsa ntchito $40,000 kapena $50,000 pa ngolo yogwiritsidwa ntchito yolembetsedwa pagombe ndi zina zambiri ngati ili yobwezeretsedwa, Meyers Manx weniweni.

Volkswagen akuti adachita nawo kampani ya chipani chachitatu e.Go kuti apange chassis yapadera ndi bodywork yopanga ID Buggy.

Palinso ogulitsa omwe akupitiliza kupanga matupi a fiberglass ndi zowonjezera, ngakhale ku Australia mbiri yamakampaniyi idabalalika pomwe osewera abwera ndikuchoka. 

Mosakayikira, US ndi malo ogulira zida za ngolo ndi zowonjezera, koma osaletsa kusinthanitsa ndi misika yapaintaneti.

Chimodzi mwa zinthu zofunika kwambiri pa ngolo ndi pansi pa VW. Amakonda dzimbiri (makamaka m'galimoto yopanda denga), choncho yang'anani pansi pa mipando ndi kuzungulira bokosi la batri kuti muwone zizindikiro zowola, chifukwa izi zikhoza kupha ntchitoyi ngati simunakonzekere kukonzanso kwakukulu. Popeza chibolibolicho chimapangidwa ndi galasi la fiberglass, ndi chosavuta kuchimanga ndi kukonza.

Chinthu china choyenera kuyang'ana pamene mukugula ma buggies omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito masiku ano ndi ntchito. 

Chifukwa adapangidwa ngati chida chodzipangira nokha m'khola kunyumba, miyezo yantchito imasiyana mosiyanasiyana ndipo izi zitha kukhala ndi chiyambukiro chachikulu pamayendedwe agalimoto ndi chitetezo.
