Does anyone have any photos? Big help if you do.


Cheers,

Chris.

I'll get some in the morning.

Mine are basically two right angle triangles with the column mounted to the back.

Chris, 1804 shots at the moment - and it still needs painting and SVAing

I've got a few, but not that many. Mind you, I haven't finished the chassis yet.

I must say Mr. Allanson, that is a mighty fine looking chassis you have made there. I do like the column support especially. Does that structure above the drivers feet hold the master cylinders and pedal box? I can't quite make it out from the picture.

Cheers,

adam, aged 13 (or is it 14 yet?!) are you very short as your steering column looks to be at a very funny angle in the pic..

Mix,

Didn't you know that Tesco had just started selling a range of airbags?

just to add my 2 pen'orth......

I don't think that G clamp will pass SVA

Avoneer - 11/1/05 at 12:04 PM

And i'm sure that silver grill stuff will have sharp edges - maybe some U trim will be the way forward?

It doesn't have to pass SVA it's a race car

Avoneer, I have 3m of u-trim in a box somewhere, I think thats a good idea

Thank you very much Sir,

Yes, the structure holds the complete sierra pedal box with the servo removed, the clutch pedal moved 1/2" closer to the brake - It works well, a load of black lines all over our industrial estate to prove it

That does look like one hell of a well engineered chassis Mark.Not going to mount a fifteen pounder on it are you.
Cheers,
Bob

I know she is a bit heavy in places(57Kg without the floor), but I prefer that reassurance, and it will probably give a nicer ride
