Indy Nosecone on Locost
Harvey1981 - 23/1/05 at 10:11 PM

Does anyone know if a indy nosecone will fit on a standard locost chassis?

MK nosecone (& scuttle) fit on my MK book-type chassis. Nosecone lower edge sits approx 1" closer to ground.

Dick,

Can you clarify what a book 'type' chassis is lol?

And does anyone have any pictures of MK bodywork on their book chassis?

"Book-type" chassis usually refers to one which generally follows the outlined design of Ron Champion's book (How to build your own sportscar ......).

Will try to take some pics in next couple of days. My nosecone just sits at present, not permanently fixed.

I've raised my Indy nosecone 25mm, (it now sits on two rails on top of the upper chassis rails), makes fitting the Zetec underneath easier.
