Axle Dampers - Tracked Amphibious Vehicle Build Ep. 9

Latest video: https://youtu.be/eKxiGML_8r4
Installing an aftermarket continuously variable transmission on a front wheel drive Peugeot Partner five speed gearbox by turning adapter bushings in the lathe and welding the inside of the original clutch plate to the CVT so it fits the clutch shaft. To get the power from the left half axle of the Peugeot Partner gearbox into the differential skid steering unit made from LADA 2101 axle in the back of the tracked amphibious vehicle I take apart the differential in the Peugeot gearbox and weld it shut. To finish off the rear axle with indoor brakes system I'm fabricating axle dampers out of 12 mm steel sheet and tractor PTO parts. The shocks that might occur in the rear axle while braking and accelerating through the differential are hopefully absorbed by the freshly made axle dampers with rubber bushings that take the beating instead of the steel parts in the driveline. Next stop - supporting the clutch shaft / CVT shaft on the front end, engine mounts, prop shaft and then I can continue building the frame and tub / hull.
