I saw that there are also alternatives to the RS2000 and are also made of aluminum.
my question and especially if it goes in the tunnel.
whells are from citroen and they are aluminum 4x108 6x15 et18.
4,6kg Piece.for this size have an excellent weight.
much less than the super expensive OZ.also why I bought several

I had to change my plan of construction.
so I spent some time in new pieces.
I'll use it for steering as aircraft aluminum metal.
and a bar of 18mm in titanium.
the supports for steering are also of the same aluminum.

in the meantime, after doing some tests on welding aluminum I decided not to buy the petrol tank.
but to build it myself.
They will use aluminum 2mm thick.
a question but I would l:
the fuel pump inside the tank or external to the better?

Today I received back the pieces anodized for the gear lever.
also in this case I used gr5 titanium and aluminum aircraft to maintain the lowest possible weight.

These parts you are making look amazing!
Regarding the fuel pump I would make it internal with an integrated swirl pot, just to make packaging easier and neater and in the end cheaper as only
1 fuel pump.
I guess final choice would be down to engine choice. If it's to be BEC then most use the bike pump.
I used one from a Range Rover on my build.
Range Rover Classic 86-92 V8 EFI Fuel Pump PRC8318
It was easy to extend to fit the tank and was easily man enough for 250bhp supercharged engine.

After several weeks of measurements, drawings and preparations I finally started the frame.
the result and good up to this point.
Now to move on I need more pieces from England.....

Realy very nice rebuilding. If it could of help, here some photos of my Fury chassis rebuilding from an italian forum with the full story still under
progress:
http://www.llcc.it/YetAnotherForum.NET/default.aspx?g=posts&t=13448&p=18
I decided for a new improved chassis when I found the original one had some cracks and visibile distorsions. Some tubes added to increase the
torsional rigidity and avoid tipical cracks of the standard chassis.

thanks for the advice.
I still intend to introduce at different points of the frame reinforcements

A bit of late call, have you still got those red hubs for sale?
Are they for the standard mk2 escort (not rs type hubs) & do they match the dimensions on this diagram?
Description
If so, how much do you want for them including shipping?

Are you getting all the measurements from the old chassis?

I've taken the measurements from the old frame.
Fortunately it seems that the frame that I was done well and was not ever changed.
In fact, the measures are almost symmetrical everywhere.
except for the tunnel and the guide side.
I can try more in the bodywork and the like to be sure that everything is fine.

The tunnels on Sylva's are not central, be careful.

I seem to have written that the tunnel is not symmetrical.
maybe they do not and understand it.
Many thanks anyway of warning.

Thanks Martin,
I speak of this point as seen in the photo.
I would like to know roughly what position is this support for the change.
that of the 4-speed gearbox seems very moved forward
