Well done, I didn’t have a protractor with me when I went to visit the car so kudos to you on that.
Angle added. I think that pretty much does it for the ladder.. and possibly the roof rack plans (excluding the radome stand). If I there is anything that anyone sees that I missed, got wrong, or could be improved let me know.
Okay there is one thing that I don’t have on the plans… That is the steel pieces that are welded on the frame, that the storage tube and oxygen tanks are mounted to. Does anyone have the measurements for those?
The 16.50", 18.00", and 16.50" measurements right? I want to make sure that these are as accurate as possible.
I can say for certain the rear one is 16". The ribbed “roof” portion that covers the motors is 17" and that hangs all the way to the front of that post, making the inside distance 16".
I always though the back section was smaller than the front two. I took some reference pictures and calculated the new sizes for the inner boxes… it came to 17.5 17.5 and 16…
Looks better with ecery revision. You need to change the stand measurement in the bottom left corner to 27. Now we just need to figure out the length of all those hypoteni…
I’ve calculated them… but they aren’t too decimal friendly… the front hypotenuse is 21.02379604162864" … To what point should I round? every hundreth… or thousandth?
I’m gonna go with standard rouding rules apply here. The hundredths is as far to the right as you need to go.
Would anyone happen to know how thick the red stripes on the radome are? I have been using pictures of Ecto to come up with a size for it and it’s base, and if the red stripes are each 1" thick then the radome comes out to be 9" tall with a diameter of 5 3/4"…
Tweaked the Radome stand. I went through about 30 reference pictures… and this is the best that I can do with the pics I had. I hope they are close enough. I will change them if we ever get an exact measurement from Ecto directly.
Anyone think I should I post these in the Ectomobile section?
Kris, I just want to say you’re doing a great job documenting all these measurements! While the roof rack on my Ecto is a quite smaller than the original, I keep coming back here to look at these plans for reference. Thank you!
No joke. Your plans exceed anything previously made. …which in some cases were non-existent to begin with. In short, GOOD JOB! Thanks.
I have a pdf from T’s measurements of the box, but I can’t attach or upload them ![]()
Do you have a google or gmail account? You can upload the PDF file to Google Documents and then post that link here.
I do not, but the gf does, maybe I’ll have her upload it.
Or you could upload it to megaupload or some other file sharing matrix.
I might do that. Kris you need to get a hold of Greg to get the measurements I gave him. Or maybe you should give me a call so we can talk about them because trying to describe their positions online will be very confusing.
