wheelbase dimensions
Hi all,
We need a bit of help please.
Gaz has asked me to measure up my chassis to double check his model of Epona.
If those of you with a book or plus four chassis could possibly find time to run a tape over yours we would be very grateful.
We measured the centre of rear wheel to the centre of the front wheel, and the outside of tyre wall
to outside of the tyre wall, both front and back. this is on a plus four, so those of you with book width chassis should be 100mm less.
These are my measurements, if i have got it right. 
Wheelbase 2340
Track (rear) 1670
Track (front) 1605
This is running 195 tyres.
Many thanks for the help.
Paul G

Just been and measured mine which is a +4 book chassis but modified for irs using sierra diff. Still got the sierra tyres which I think are
185's and get very approximately:
Wheel base 2430
Rear track 1640
Front track 1540
quite a bit different!

Cheers for that Sammy.
I am also using a Sierra dif.
If we could get several sets of dims that would be nice. Sort of find an average.
Cheers,

Track dimension is actualy measured from the centre of the tyres, not the outside. So you would then find that +4 cars have the same track as the
Sierra, which is 1453mm front, and 1468mm rear, (saloon), and 1458mm rear, (Estate). No good me giving you my wheelbase as it's a home design
chassis, but 2500mm is what it measures. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Cheers for that Ray.
AFAIK there are variants of the +4
I have added 4" to the centre of the car, front to back.
I think that others still have a narrow nose, and lengthened front wish bones.
Cheers
