As already said obvious choice is the mk hsr - http://www.mksportscars.com/hsr-overview.html
The tiger gta may also be made to fit, based on the Avon chassis - http://www.tigerracing.com/gta.php

Mk did make chassis for AGM many years ago I believe.
I thought about doing it myself, they did market the body to retro fit a Seven at one point, I am sure you could get one to fit with a bit of out
rigger work to support the body, but give them a call to see whats involved

I sent agm a mail about the options for fitting the body on my Indy chassis.
Does the mk hsr need simple modifications To the chassis or is it a direct fit?

From the MK site - "HSR fibreglass body including chassis modifications for existing Indy £ 1,635.00"
So I guess there are mino mods to do given the price, nothing major, I am guessing some brackets to bolt/weld on to mount the sides of the body. Best
to given them a call and discuss.

Thruxton GT body should fit quite easily and requires support for the front clam for the hinge, side out riggers and a bit at the back.
It's much better in terms of fit and finish than the MK version.
Have a look on Facebook

Jim's website is terrible but there is some info on there too.

I was looking at mallock's the other day as fancy a change on my car and want to drag the engine back enough to run a single prop.

Does the MK use standard width sierra drive shafts?? If so width is the same as the MNR GM body so should fit.

Yes the Mk runs standard drive shafts so the MNR GM body could be another good option, looks superb

If wheel base is too long It's very easy to shorten a GM as we designed it so it could be done.

What is the wheelbase of the mnr gm?
My mk Indy is 239cm -> 94,1 inch
I heard a rumour about a hardtop... Is this correct?

The GM is exactly the same as a Vortx as it was designed to bolt straight onto a Vortx chassis

The MNR Vortex is 242cm or just over 95" wheel base, so it sounds like the GM body should fit ok without shortening

Just been out in garage and measured my V8 Westfield, standard rear ford drive shafts so width should be ok, and 232cm or 91.5" wheelbase, so
could be made to fit?
With the price of westfield bodywork and the waiting time, I paid £1500 for just a tub, a pair of rear arches and a boot box . And had to wait 4
months for it to be made

Blimey!! Can easily cut up to 9" out (i know as did it on my car). Only down side is body has to be painted if shortened as there is a bit of
filling to be done on the join
