Book (2nd ed.) Chassis
Dick Axtell - 11/7/03 at 02:52 PM

Hi All,
RC's 2nd ed book shows a very nicely green painted chassis, ref. p.105.
Question - what purpose are those additional, small brackets for? (TR2, R, & J2).
Will I also need them?
So if the owner of this chassis is out there, I'd be very pleased to hear the info.
TIA
Dick

(Wild Guess!!)
Brake flexie mounting brackets?

Looks like it could be brackets to hold the bearings for steering column. It's only a guess and it's not standard so I don't think you will be needing them.

Also the engine mountings are not for a X-Flow they seem to be for a smaller engine (offset to the left), possibly bike engine?

Anyhoo, you don't need them.

Thanks for the input guys.
I've identified the front flexi hose brkts, 'cos I just welded them on my chassis.
I'm trying to complete all these fiddling welding jobs prior to cleaning & powder coating. Don't want to find I've missed something after forking out for that.

The almost finished car from the 2nd book was for sale on here some time ago.
