Chassis Dimensions

I have a copy of the Avon book but I understand that the drawings are not 100% acurate. Has anybody done a set of acurate drawings if so would they share them?

There are revised drawings on line somewhere, i will try and search as i have seen them recently. The 2nd edition of the book has less errors (i think only one).

Basically, the dimenions that were wrong were half of what they should have been, dimenions were taken from the centreline but shown as a total width. The basic dimensions were all correct.

The castor-angle in the drawings form the orange-book are not good (upper brackets). The 90 degr angle must be at the lower rail to gain 5 or more degr castor.
