LHD Zetec Haynes Roadster
Blackhole - 5/6/13 at 02:13 PM

Hey, guys!

I'm in process of planning a build. This is how a see it right now:

- Haynes Roadster chassis (stiil looking for a final plan of an LHD one)
- Silvertop Zetec 1.8 on bike carbs + Megasquirt/jolt
- MT75 gearbox
- Black finish =))

Right now I'm looking for a final design for an LHD chassis to fit a Zetec and MT75 gearbox, and I need as much clearance under the engine as possible, cause the roads here are just terrible.

So if anybody has some drawings I could transfer into SolidWorks I'd be extremely thankful =)

I think a steel CVH sump fits, this you can shorten for more clearance
Also 15" wheels will give a little more height

Thanks for those links, I've already found lots of interesting stuff there =)

I've done some research on the sumps and I'll definitely need to shorten one (or find somebody to shorten it for me, but I hope I'll get my welding skills good enough till then =) Just wanted to find if there are anything I might do with the chassis to help

Found this picture in some Lithuanian build, why did he have to cut a piece out, I don't think that will be good for chassis integrity
