Caterham chassis

Does anyone know where i can get the dimensions for a caterham chassis. Prefer online.

There's a load of stuff like specs on the owners site.
Otherwise you could ring Arch who made them (sorry, not on line).

There have been a lot of different models of Caterham, the standard Arch chassis, then the SV (which is wider). I think the CSR is also a different size.

But this might help as a basic guide:-

hey, that's even narrower than the champion book chassis! And here I was worried about fitting into the standard locost cockpit!

would be interesting to see the measurements for the current caterham lineup as well Maybe my buttocks don't need as much space as I thought :-D

Is it just one or two Dims you need to know? If so then I have a Caterham at nearly bare chassis stage at the moment that I can measure for you, but I'm afraid I don't really have the time to measure every tube etc!

Yes I realise that this is an older posting.
However I'm after the distance between the upper and lower Arm, frame mounted pivots (centre to centre?) on the front suspension on a Cat chassis. Rear main mounts only will be fine.
I have conflicting numbers and need to know what it actually is... as measured.
I hope (?) this is still possible?

Thank you
