PERSONAL TRANSPORT: GROUND, WATER, AIR
SIMOT all-terrain vehicle. Personal transport
Directory / Personal transport: land, water, air The history of my car is simple. After serving in the army, I got married and stayed to live in Zhukovsky near Moscow. All relatives live nearby. But getting to them without a personal car was oh so problematic ... Yes, and on the farm you always need an assistant on wheels. So my wife and I decided to buy a used car. First they bought the Moskvich, then the Volga. I suffered with them a lot, but "to the mind" brought. Over time, he learned to do a good job of locksmithing, soldering, and mastered electric and gas welding. Built and equipped a garage. It was then that the idea arose to make a vehicle, if possible, from the same units and assemblies that I had to deal with almost every day. It was supposed to be a car of good capacity and carrying capacity, adapted to the roads of the countryside. First he embodied his idea in a drawing - skills in drawing and artistic modeling came in handy. It turned out to be a jeep with a five-seater cabin and a small body covered with an awning. Began to select the necessary components and assemblies. The most suitable chassis for it turned out to be from the UAZ-469 car. But the "UAZ" gearboxes (gearboxes) and distributive (RK) did not suit me in terms of operational parameters. I had to replace them with units from the GAZ-69, somewhat altering the frame for their installation. In addition, the frame had to be finalized due to the fact that the rather low body of the Moskvich-2141 was taken as the basis for the car body and the Volgovsky engine that I had got out of the contours of its hood. To install the engine, I replaced the under-engine beam with a lower one from the RAF, and under the checkpoint and the RK I used the "relatives" - from the GAZ-69. "Operations" were successful, as the frames of these cars are very similar. As unnecessary, the bumper and the front part of the side members with hooks were cut off. Removed other unnecessary items. The body of the jeep turned out to be slightly longer than the "UAZ", so the rear part of the frame had to be increased by 150 mm due to inserts, and to maintain the strength of the towbar and side members mounting structure, I made the cuts curly (shifted relative to each other) - the side members and the inner walls were cut obliquely in front of the beams tow bar, the outer walls are behind them. Then he sawed the spars along the ribs between the cuts and, pushing the parts apart, welded steel inserts between them. Since the distance between the supports of the rear springs increased, their front fingers were shifted back by the same 150 mm and four spring stops were welded.
In the top view of the headlight pos. 13 are conventionally not shown.
The body is of a welded structure, assembled from the existing sidewalls with wings, a hood, a front cladding with headlights, a bumper and a bottom from Moskvich. To increase the volume of the cabin, I used a windshield with an opening and the back of the cab from the GAZ-53, and the roof from the Niva. Of course, to connect these dissimilar parts, it would be necessary to build a slipway, but due to the limited space in the garage, I used only a building level and a plumb line. I preliminarily adjusted the details by eye, then exposed or hung out, connected with wire and, after evaluating the visible shape of the body, tacked it by welding. The doorways, pushed apart at the top due to the wide roof, required a reshaping of the front fenders. I made them taller, but shorter, fitting them to the radiator lining, hood and windshield openings. The "windows", formed as a result of inconsistencies in the contours of the finished parts, were smoothly connected by inserts cut from a steel sheet 1,2 mm thick. The sides, the bottom of the loading platform and the wheel arches were welded from the same metal. By the way, I trimmed the wheel arches in front and behind - to increase the gap between the wheel and the wing. The finally assembled body was bolted to the frame, using standard rubber cushions for installing engines as additional shock absorbers. Each cushion rests on a support bent from 4mm steel strip and welded to the frame. The locations of the supports were chosen in such a way as to give additional strength to the bottom of the car in the most critical places: under the engine compartment, seats and cargo platform. This condition and the different curvature of the bottom and frame lines led to the fact that each pair of supports has its own configuration. The operation of the car showed that the decision was chosen correctly - when driving on the highway at speeds up to 100 km / h, the vibration from the rigid chassis is almost not transmitted to the passenger compartment. Further work consisted in equipping the car: on the front beam of the frame and the ends of the spars I hung a home-made engine crankcase protection, from the sides I closed the frame with additional thresholds bent from a sheet and welded to the "native" nut, assembled the frame of the awning from the elements of the "UAZ" and redrawn the awning itself , providing it with round glasses. The spare wheel was fixed on the beams of the tow bar.
The internal stuffing of the car, including electrical equipment, is mainly taken from Moskvich and Zhiguli. Homemade only stove and interior ventilation system. The latter should be considered in more detail. The idea came about when neighbors in the garage brought me several individual panels with lighting and ventilation devices from a decommissioned intercity bus. I installed them in the cab of my car. The air intake is located on the roof, and under it is a box, in front of which the air is cleaned by a filter from debris and dust. Rain water is retained by the baffle rib, accumulates in the water collector and drains overboard through the pipes. The flow-adjustable swivel nozzles of the devices are very convenient - a jet of refreshing air can be directed in any direction, and the light from the bulbs turned on by passengers at night does not interfere with the driver at all. True, there is one drawback - the box and ventilation devices "ate" 50 mm of the cabin height. SIMOT has been serving us reliably for more than two years. Many who see my jeep for the first time ask the same question: what does the name of the car mean? I always answer: "The Starikovs Irina, Marina, Oleg, Tatiana" are my friendly family."
