BEC or CEC chassis
I havent spoken to the factory yet but I'm going to order a kit before Christmas, finally got the go ahead from SWMBO to build again 10 years
after completing my first 7.
Question is what is the difference between the two chassis MK produce, if I buy a BEC chassis can I change my mind and fit a car engine and vice
versa?
I assume all dimensions are the same only engine mount points and positions are different.
Can someone enlighten me please?
Cheers.

Hi there
Yes the engine mounts are different and the BEC chassis also has an additional plate on the transmission tunnel to mount the mid bearing of the
prop.
Cheers

As Ian has correctly pointed out,the bike and car chassis are slightly different,but the best thing to do if you have decided the MK INDY is the car
you are building,is to place your order,there's currently about a 6 to 8 week waiting list,you can then ask MK contact you the week before they
start your chassis to confirm your specification,you can even delay the building of your chassis if your not quite ready for it,you just need to pay a
£100 deposit when you place your order.

It's gonna be a BEC, build buddy has found us a running Blade engine for sensible money.
6-8 week order time is fine, something for the new year then.

Yes it has inboard suspension,but it is a completely new chassis design,sharing nothing but its overall size with the old Indy,the additional use of
round tube in its construction not only saves weight but also adds to its strengh,the rear suspension has also been redesigned to further improve the
chassis.
