if its the indy you are reffering its the same chassis, you specify what bike engine you want to put in and they will add the necessary mounts to the
chassis + cradle, think the engine cradles are around £60 if i remember correctly give or take £10.
tho i do believe if you already have a chassis made for car engine then they will modify the chassis for you ofcourse at extra cost

Thanks for the replies  was just checking to see no major mods were needed if I manage to get this chassis.
So i'm sure MK can sort me a cradle and the brackets I can weld on myself.
Is the gear linkage necessary or can you run via cable with the r1? though I was planning on a paddle shift anyway so I guess that's pushrod
realy.
What does Mr SVA man think of paddle shifts? are they ok?

Mac1 did my r1 cradle and prop plate.
For the paddle have alook here for the bits used: http://www.ato-ox.com/html/january.html
Aslong as the paddle isnt wider than the wheel and the sides have no sharp edges it will pass sva. 'Sheds' did, once the sides had plastic
