I’d like to know more about the thinking related to vehicle dynamics/handling, e.g. weight distribution, suspension geometry/damping, goals and methods for steering, etc.
Fascinating application and joining system. Heat cure with powder-coating cure is smart time and cost saving. Super ingenious. The Honda NSX was also bonded Aluminium from memory.
Really interesting. Not sure how many views you'll get but for more serious thinkers this type of interview is so educational. Please keep these going.
Wow, what an interesting chat. I from here, Spain, usually follow a spanish ingenieur youtuber. From a mere amateur point of view (i.e mine) i find these kind of different "programs" are really formatif and help to understand a lot of things other than just power and acceleration. So congratulations for this episode. Thank you Peter.
I remember way back in the day, Walter Treser and his T1 using hydroformed (controlled deformation) aluminum chassis components bonded together.. history in the making is great to see! cheers!
Thanks Bob for taking the time to talk to PP , and us, about this work. would be good to know a little more about structural design (and compromises) in relation to body work defining chassis or vice versa particularly in relation to regulations. As a design educator I'm always trying to get my students to understand that you cannot always do what you want due to the parameters and hoops required by regs and standards.
Another top notch interview with one of Great Britain’s great innovators. Could have listened to him for an hour, so much knowledge. The sad thing is we Brits tend to sell or give away our technology! What happened to the great manufacturing nation we were? ☹️
Thank you a lot for sharing all the details. It was really interesting to get to know the thoughts behind the design choices. What shocked me a bit was to see that the presented joints seemed to be optimal for pulling forces only. Bending or shearing forces seemed not to be optimally accounted for even though at some shown joints they would occur. So, a bit more honesty partly about some chosen solutions being due to cost savings instead of - kind of- illustrating them being the best solution from a structural view would have given the presentation more sincereness.
Great series, In reality, a unitary construction for land rover was not viable. What it required was to change the vehicle that land rover was. I.e. no where for a PTO to run a saw bench, no way to run a hydraulic pump to run 20 tonne winches mounted front and rear on the x member, the list goes on. Just a different vehicle.
The Elise and other mentioned vehicle manufacturers use flow drill screws and not rivets. Much more time efficient in factory production with no requirement for predrilled holes in the aluminium box section.
I cannot see why going into the risk of using powder coating instead of anodizing the parts before other than saving costs. There is no stronger or more reliable bonding substrate then an anodized surface in case of aluminium. Honestly, at that point in the video, I was finally at "ok, you are just doing what everybody with a cad program and some space could do himslef at home". Sorry for being so harsh.

What else would you like to know about the Nichols N1A ?
A comparison with the McLaren M1A that inspired it. There should be a few of those at the Goodwood MM this weekend.

Be nice to see a video when its complete ped,and is it going to be a lotus elise size car when it is finished 🤔 😀

Glad you enjoyed it. Difficult to get everything in 😬
MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN. Thanks, Mate. Excellent vid
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I loved this. Very cool!
Thanks 👍
Great video. Always fascinates me when i see things being built and the technology in them.
Thanks 👍
Great video, makes you humble to see the work of these excellent craftsmen. Would love to see and hear you drive this car on a nice track.
That will happen 👊
This video was good,really really good !! Great insight, informative & so interesting brilliant job , looking forward to the next part already 👍👍
Thanks Michael 👍
Just astonishing whot technology can do nowerdays this is awesome loved this ped found really interesting 💥🚗
Indeed. Glad you enjoyed it. I’d like it to get more views 😬
Evening all...part 2!
Very interesting vid,more please.Looking forward to the next episode.
The next one should be ace 👍

Thanks George 👍
Another great video, feels a privilege to have such a great insight on the journey of this car. Looking forewords to the next instalment.
Thanks Dave 👍
I was imagining the Nichols N1A with one of Moggie's TESLA based EV drivetrains during the interview.
Again a great video!!
Thanks Guy 👍
Well worth watching. Amazing tech. Thanks Ped.
Cheers Tim 👍
Fascinating, would love to see it actually in a production/assembly process.
Hope to show that in the coming weeks 👍
Pete that is such a great video for tech heads like me, what a technique. Thanks!!
Thanks Garry 👍
You learn something new everyday lotus and land rover
Great Series!
Great part two!
Thanks 👍
learned a lot here ! awesome the development that goes into these!
Thanks Richard 👍
Hello Sir, now this was an eye opener. 👍
Amazing guy 👍
Evening All tgippf 🍻great piece again in the series Peter , well done 👍
Cheers Paul 👍
Awesome video
Thanks 🙏🏻
Where can we find out about this product, is it available to individuals who want to use it?
Do you mean the N1A ?
@@PetrolPed with Stalcom and their aluminium chassis.
Proper Todd stuff! 👍
👍
Great video. I know Bob well he's a topbloke
Thanks 👍
Please don’t forget the Vauxhall VX220 🙏🏼
Top quality video Pete....it stopped me watching The Masters.
Wow…I’ll take that 👊
Evening all on board a flight headed to Canada. Will watch this video in full later. Hope everyone is doing well? 😊
Safe flight Sir 👍
@@ScenesThroughTravels Cheers! 👍🏻
Very interesting 👍 Extruded aluminium also commonly used for sim rigs, a nice tie in for you there.
Hello mate 👍
Porque não tem uma conta oficial no youtube ou instagram? Queria acompanhar o desenvolvimento do carro em algum lugar
