s2k locost

Hello
I'm from Greece and i have the ambition to build a locost with engine from honda s2000. Because this engine is bigger than usual I desided to use the mcsorley plans (+442) instead the book plans. I had began the chassis construction the last summer and now i'm building the front wishbones.
Here some photos from my progress

Cut the middle out of the rail across the chassis and put your gear lever where you can reach it from the driver seat then make your tunnel fit round it. Remember to leave room for your feet and pedals though.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

thanks for your advice.
the possible engine position will be about 2'' back.
i think i follow your advice and i put the seat on place to find out the final position.

May I ask a couple of questions? The diff fixing looks a little weak although it does look like standard mounts, is there something a bit bigger on the front or underneath the diff also fixing it to the frame? I can't really tell from the pictures. I'm just comparing them to the normal Sierra diff mount which is a steel plate fixing with reinforcement.

The lower rear wishbones also look like they've got no triangulation in them, aren't they just going to twist and snap as soon as you accelerate?

Yes it's because there are no front shocks/springs yet and its on a bump. I think after the shocks placement it will be ok.
