As these are produced chassis I doubt anyone has the drawings, unless you can find an owner willing to take dimensions off of his/her own car.

either would do but mostly the mojo or the onyx mongoose there its car engined and not a bike engined. The main dimensions im after are the widths more than anything but just the space frame chassis not over all widths.

What dimensions exactly are you after? I'm part way through building a Mojo 2 (not the new Mojo SE version btw.). If you can explain exactly what you would like measuring, I would be happy to oblige...

Cheers

Dammit! Too many decisions....

im after the width at the back. distance from back to where it begins to angle in and then the width at the front. Also the hight at the front.

Do you have any pics of the bare chassis?

thanks for your help its much appreciated.

I'm wanting to build a mid-engined chassis but i don't want to just copy an existing one. I'm just after sum basic dimensions so i can have an idea on size but the chassis its self will be my own design.

Thanks Craig.

Hello there.

Have a look at my website (which hasn't been updated for a fair while sorry!), most of the pictures I already have are posted on there.

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/lordandy

This is about the best pic I can find after a quick look: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/lordandy/Sirwebsite/images/CunningPlans/number5/Pictures/cockpitfloormods.JPG

The pic shows the cockpit from above. The width between the outermost chassis rails is a shade over 1metre.

The width at the very rear of the chassis (the rear end of teh engine bay) is a tad narrower, and varies over the height there too. See this pic: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/lordandy/Sirwebsite/images/CunningPlans/number5/Pictures/Enginebayplain.JPG

I'll do my best to get some dimensions/pics etc. for you tomorrow afternoon though if that is okay.

Cheers
Andy

Hi it might also be worth looking at the extra bracing required to be put in to the race version of the mojo so that they are acceptable strenght wise for racing in the 750mc.

cheers matt
