Ebay often has some for sale, under locost. Failing that try Luego or MK engineering, these two have a good reputation, but will charge more than they
usually go for on ebay.
Pays your money and takes your choice!

worth bearing in mind that unless you see an ebay chassis you never know quite how good it'll be whereas a professionally built one will have
been fully jigged etc and will be straight!

How much could one expect to sell a +4 width chassis for? I know a bloke who has one cluttering up his garage from an abandoned project, I was
thinking of taking it off his hands and trying to turn a little beer money profit.

i paid £200 for a fully tacked book chassis with wishbones, uprights + ball joints...
i have seen them go for a bit more on ebay if there are several interested parties...

It doesn't matter if a chassis is made on a jig, if the welder is no good and welds in the wrong order, the complete chassis will spring out of
the jig like a jack-in-the-box.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Dead right Mark.
The jig is just an aid to locate the parts prior to welding....where they end up after welding is largely down to skill and technique....
