Have you tried lifting your steel chassis?



Yes and it's no problem!! I move it out of storage when I work on it and lift it back after.

Just wait once the tunnel is in moving it around suddenly becomes a lot harder.

I am looking in to monocoupes at the moment and there construction. A book on aerospace structures was recommended does any one else have a good source of information on this type of structure and how they are designed?

I'd like to find out a little info on building monocoque chassis, not for a 7 but for a different project.

I've always been of the impression that you had to be an engeneer to design one, but if there are a few simple rules to follow then I'd be all over it.





a few pics of my other projects

I just hope that isnt for a road car, and that you know the life expectancy of the chassis! It looks to be a book chassis, so will not be very stiff either. Though it will function, dont expect it to last for many hours use without major fatigue problems....
