Ron Champion V McSorley

Just thinking, it would be completely possible to built a Locost using the McSorley drawins and the information avaliable here and on builders pages... Which leads me to why the hell did i pay $80 and wait 6 weeks for the ordering of Mister Ron Champions handiwork that isnt even landed in the country yet!! Dammit. Call it spam if you will, but heh.. what ever. Im pissed.

That's UKP 34, pretty expensive.

I had a parallel experience buying Allan Staniforth's 'Race and Rally Car Source Book'. Paid almost twice what I shouild have mainly because of impatience and because I thought I was getting a "rare" earlier edition that included information left out of later ones.

Oh, there's really no substitute for "The Book". At times. though, you'll find yourself asking, "Hey, what about...". That's where this site picks up the slack. LB is just like a giant appendix (no, not the useless organ that can kill you by exploding ).

Silly bugger

Don't worry, the book will still come in handy -- helps remind you of all the little things you'll need along the way.

I'm using the McSorley dimensions as well but my copy of the book is well thumbed, greasy and lives on the workbench.

Good Luck, Ted

Mcsorley only details the basic tubes, not things like suspension brackets, body panelling, the floor, brake pipe brackets, radiator brackets, steering rack mountings, etc etc etc.

When making a CAD model from the mcsorley plans I still had cause to refer to the book for its diagrams, explanations of the relationships between various tubes and useful photos of what the finished thing should be like.

Also, I haven't got them in front of me right now, but I don't think the mcsorley plans include any of the triangulating tubes.. if you just go by those plans and don't put any of those tubes in your chassis will be quite floppy.

Book good. it's got tits in it too (look at the back pages)
