Unfortunately, there is no LINKS page on the FSAE.com website, so I put one together to help everyone.

If you have any more, just post a reply, and I'll update the list.

I hope this helps everyone. This is what the internet is all about, passing along free information so one can learn. Thanks to all who helped me with additional links.

No problem. Just trying to give a little back to something that brought me a lot of happiness and friends.

I know how hard it is to find parts, especially when you just get started.

we used their Tornado F1 calipers this year (which are equiv to the dynalite single) and 10.25" Revolution Rotors. The only issue we had with them was a slightly out of spec rotor which they replaced without any questions. Their support is pretty good.

Any good manufacturing ones? I've been trying to find a list of all tolerances so I can make up an excel macro that spits out the dimensions for a hole/shaft given diameter and desired fit. Found some at http://www.ecs.umass.edu/mie/labs/mda/dlib/fit_tol/fitandtol.html but not all of them. (BTW, it's a fairly basic page, but might come in handy...)

(EDIT: Ok, so it's not quite design, but still... might help to get drawings done quicker... or something...)

It never occured to me before that this might be useful, but here's a page that has the diameter, weight and current capacity of most wire gauges (specs are for copper, but I don't imagine there are too many people using aluminum wiring)
