cant make my mind up what chassis
hi iam about to start building my locost but what drawing are the best to use. ive already got the chassis cut for the ron one
but if theres a better one ill order some more steel and start again. i have just found out iam missing the tube for the back bit so ive gotta order
some steel anyway. i just want to make sure so i dont get half way then wish i had started something else.

If you've cut all the tubes to the measurements in the 2nd (or 1st) book you'll have to get some more steel anyway as there are quite a
few mistakes. Most (all?) are corrected in the Mcsorley drawings from http://mcsorley.net/locost/drawings.htm.
He also has drawings for various size options (+4, +442)
The 3rd book by ChrisG is a very different car, but the drawings are far better.

you should fit a std book chassis no probs.
one more question...what donor car are you using?.
if i where you.. iwould go with Ron champion one....but as mentioned, watch out for "book errors".
and the castor is not enough, so i am led to believe.

You will fit the standard chassis, but any extra space is welcome.
