Please can someone check some dims!
can anyone help i'm stuck! I need 3 dimensions checked on the chassis. The three i need are; measured down the centreline of the chassis.
1: from the horizontal tube halfway up the chassis seat back to the 1st horizontal tube that takes the steering column brackets. (basically the
length of the top of the transmission tunnel (19mm box part)) acording to the book it should be 220+770=990.
2: from the 1st horizontal tube that takes the steering column brackets to the next full width horizontal tube (860 long, top rear engine bay) this,
acording to the book should be 407 ext.
3: from the top rear engine bay tube (860 long) to the very front top horizontal tube (front of engine bay) acording to the book should be 868 (or 893
ext.)
any help would mean i CAN get this chassis built as there is no where near enough info on the drawings.
p.s. if anyone is building the chassis the top side tubes that the book says are 1520 long are infact 1535 long.

I have checked the dimensions on my chassis which was Tiger built so...........
If I have understood your descriptions they are as follows.
The measurements are taken between the tubes so if you want centre to centre add 25mm.
1. 960 from upper edge to upper edge of the cross tubes.
2. 360
3. 850
Hope that helps
Ian

Have you checked the web site set up by the publishers of the book? I can't remember the web address. There are now drawings on there showing
the correct dimensions.

How long ago did you check it? Did it have on there about the Zetec bonnet and CF dash?

Punker,
I have not decided on the bodywork yet. I may add some bits and go for an alloy body. So far it's not an issue as I have not had much time to
make major progress on the build.
