Champion chassis failures

I have been looking at building the chassis to race and noticed a few mistakes that i could do with help clearing up. Firstly on page 52 there are contradictions between the length dimensions 813+1456+76 does not equal 2334. Also tubes s and t appear to be wrong. Are there any amendments to the book that i have failed to find. Could someone please help with plans ideally drawn on cad. So i can see where i'm going wrong.

No idea about racing requirements though.

Everything you need is here http://www.sevenesque.com/plans/

Corrected 2d CAD, Cutting list and an IGES 3d CAD model of the book car. Also bigger versions of the basic design.

ETA: Beaten on the draw again!
