Identify Chassis?

Hi Guys,

Below is a pic of the chassis I am restoring.
So please no statements of condition etc lol

I want to try find the original plans so I can check measurements, restore back to stock where I can as well as improve.

Cheers!

Hi Ya,

You are a top guy!!!

I measured up and looks 90% to the "Book Chassis"

Where can I get a drawing etc with rear wishbone measurements so I can model one up?

I thought the wishbones where "book" must be easy enough to get the book on eBay ?

Hi ya,

The chassis is the only thing thats shown in the parts book etc, no suspension mounting points, drive train information etc.

I have seen a few wishbones for sale on Ebay etc but without and y measurements etc so no way of knowing if I can get them to fit.

Happy to modify the chassis mounting points etc but I like to do it in CAD first if posible.

Hi. IIRC Jim McSorley did a standard "book" version of the (ahem) Ron Champion chassis. There is/was a pdf version of this somewhere.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!
