What benefits are there to having your round tube chassis?

Will it be lighter and stiffer than the square tubed version?

wozsher - 31/3/09 at 10:39 AM

Yep and looks better 2

What would the price be?

Could you do different variations of it?

Do you have any figures for the decrease in weight, or data to back up the stiffness?
- Not doubting its possable, but without a fair bit of thought or calculation i would suggest it would be very easy to produce a round tube chassis that behaved far too simularly to a squaretube to make the additional work worth the effort.

We r aiming for around £1000 mark with wishbones, pushrods etc.
Depending on what u have in mind Im sure we could adapt it 2 your requirements.

how would you panel a round tube chassis? Just curious - not a punter Im afraid!

wozsher - 31/3/09 at 11:12 AM

Weve dressed the panels around the tube
and fixed with rivets,not unlike the rear panel in the book

Hi Daniel
Yes we do have the figures but we dont want 2 give 2 much away at the moment just 2 say that a round tube chassis does act quite differently 2 a square tubed one

I must agree, I'm 23 and I utterly despise text speak.

Really, if you're trying to sell a product that someone will rely on to keep them alive, You'll do a lot better if you take the time to write words.

Also, it's a bar steward to read.

Point taken I should know better at 43

It sounds impressive, but what you really need to do is post some pictures
