Mcsorley +4 Chassis
Bananaman - 3/12/04 at 09:56 AM

If I was to build a chassis using the +4 Mcsorley plans, altered slightly to take IRS, what bodywork would fit the extra larger person width.

Any suggestions

Cheers
Michael

Your own! And that's about it.

I have thought about measuring the width of my Xtreme and maybe using their scuttle and nose cone.

I have plenty of shoulder and backside room in it. The book chassis looks awfully narrow. How wide are the MK chassis?

Cheers

mk chassis is same width as a book locost. I have measured them side by side.

I guess the main problem is needing a wider nose cone. The dreaded Lolocost to one that is 2" wider :

And the small matter of the scuttle!

It really isn't that small. Make friends with someone who's got a built car near you and see if you can sit in it!

No having measured it, I was aware they were wider, but not by how much... Spose I would have found out tomorrow

Thanks for the Info.
