Chassis and cage finished at last...
Finished and ready for painting.
Can anyone spot anything missing before I go forth and spray the bugger.
Cheers,
Pat...

i'd add an extra brace under the rear roll bar mount at the very back corners of the car.
and get some spare paint when you have to re-do something

Brake pipe brackets?
Exhaust silencer bracket?
Handbrake cable mounts at rear of tunnel?
Propshaft bearing mount?
Again, you might have them but can't really see!
HTH,
James

Btw, is that a McSorley 'book frame' you've constructed there? As far as I can see, McSorley doesn't seem to show where to add
all the various brackets and mounts...?

Cheer guys.
Tab on top bar that goes under the scuttle for 1 earth. Back earth will be bolted through the plate that the lower legs of the roll cage mount to.
Battery (mounted at the front behind the rack) and the lights will be earthed via a bolt through the steering rack mouning flat strips.
Don't want towing eyes.
Handbrake bracket is next to the dash and the lever will be vertical.
Got plenty of spare paint. Not sure what you mean about an extra brace for the roll bar.
Only need one brake pipe bracket for the flexi to the live axle which is hiding there somewhere. Front two will be through the ali panels.
Can bracket will utilise the two bolts that hold the passenger seat on.
Handbrake cable is of the only one cable variety and the retaining plate is there at the back of the tunnel.
Propshaft bearing mount is the 6mm flat plate vertically next to the drivers left knee.
Think I've covered everyting...

If I was doing a chassis again I'd wait till I had the wings before I did that bit. Then, wherever my wings were placed the curved bit could
match the wing profile and position.
The Stuart Taylor wings have this bit included in the GRP.

EViS,
McSorley is just an accurate chassis plan. An addition to correct mistakes in 'The Book' which ff you're gonna build a Locost
you're gonna need to buy.

Also, how did you bend the pipes for your cage? Do you own some expensive equipment? Or was the cage purchased... (price?)?

Cage was built by MK Engineering for £300 or £350, can't remember.
I'm using ST rear arches so no extra curvy bit needed.
Don't fancy side protection due to your neck thus taking the shock if something hits side protection.
HiCost - I hear you, but the brackets are heavily reinforced - will take a pic shortly.
Think they will do the job.
Cheers,
Pat...
