I think it is just a book chassis made by Triton as far as i know, nowt more special than that.

If it's any help, I saw Triton's chassis work while I was collecting my GRP. Decent work - nothing exceptional, but tidy enough. Certainly not MK-standard, but not shabby either. In the past he's made chassis to order, repaired Locost racers, and so on.

(no connection, satisfied customer, etc.)

I've got a sneaky suspicion that Triton are no longer in business. Darren George seems to have his lotus 11 body moulds and the web site no longer seems to work.

Bought my wishbones from him and they're okay - still not used them in anger but i've got no complaints.

Mike - I was there yesterday. Had to change the nosecone. GRP guy (Steve)seems very busy, and Mark appears to be working on a few projects simultaneously.

I'm glad they're still going - they try hard and deserve to make a go of it.

cheers,

I thought this too, but spoke to darren (dozracing) as he's selling their bits to help them out/give them more work i guess, whether they now need it or not is anyones guess if they're that busy! Shame they don't get their website sorted though.
