chassiss for 750mc
doughie - 28/9/07 at 07:01 PM

currently strengthening my locost chassis, needing to add some cold drawn one inch angle to the bottom front rails to strengthen it up as the metal is too thin in places...

as completely new to this, can anyone in the know tell me if this would barr the car from being raced??

would like to build to spec so the option is there for racing in the future...

apologies if this has been covered many times before - but its the knowledge of those who know thats this forums biggest asset

Sorry, it has to be asked.... why is the metal 'too thin in places'? :

no worries; before i bought the part built rolling chassis, someone had been a bit enthusiastic with an angle grinder!! esp around front suspension mountings

needing to strengthen the rails at these places as little metal left in places

am wonderin if the 750mc route is a no go due to the mods or if i can go for it and build up to spec for the championship....?

i am aware that strengthening the rear axle to chassis points is permitted (i think) so am wondering if what i am doing is ok

my camera is playing up so cant post any pics at the mo

any advice is appreciated
