CAD Model Library

Hello Everyone!

Please bear with me, as this is my first post here. Apologies if it is in the wrong section.

A work Colleague and me are modelling up a Locost in 3D using Solidworks. With the intention to build two. (one XE engined, and one crossflow).

The chassis frame is simple enough, and most of the body panels are fairly straight forward, but I'm having some problems with the engine, transmission, and rear axle.

I havent got round to sourcing any of the required running gear just yet, so it is difficult for me to draw up the components, as very little dimensional data is available.

Does anyone know of a Library of components where I can find out more information on the following...

Ford Escort mk2 Rear axle - as per locost book.

Sierra rear diff (independent rear suspension) drive shafts and rear hubs if possible.

Crossflow engine

Vauxhall XE Engine

I am not expecting to find 3D models of these components, but some 2D drawings would be a big step forward compared to what I've got now!

Also, has anyone actually modelled a complete locost in 3D? If so, with what CAD system, and where did you get your information from?

Your help is much appreciated.

Chris Green.
