00:00 | - Before we dive into the course, it's important to understand that altering the braking components or structure of your vehicle, could potentially be dangerous if not done correctly. |
00:10 | This doesn't just come down to your design work, but also the quality of the parts and materials used. |
00:17 | So if you have any doubt about the accuracy of your calculations, or the suitability of a part you intend to use, we'd recommend you seek the guidance of a suitably qualified engineer. |
00:28 | It's also important to understand that not every modification will result in the improvement you may be expecting. |
00:35 | For this reason, it's critical to have a full understanding of the likely implications that your changes could have and be mindful you're testing them in the right environment. |
00:46 | Some modifications may also be illegal for road use in some parts of the world or for race use in specific classes. |
00:53 | Nobody wants to waste the time and money producing a vehicle that can't legally be used for its intended purpose so it's your responsibility to check with your local road authority or motorsport governing body to ensure that your modifications fit within the technical regulation guidelines. |
01:11 | This often means working with a qualified engineer throughout the process to ensure that things are being done correctly. |
01:18 | It may be all well and good understanding the theory, but often the practical reality tells a different story. |
01:25 | So if you're not confident with your ability to produce a safe and effective braking system, then please consider asking a professional to check over your plans at the very least. |
