Mid engine chassis drawings?

Hello Locost builders,

I wonder if someone could point me in the direction locost chassis blueprints. I have some of the Locost scratch builder 's arsenal (Champion, Tanner (book), McSorley, etc) but nothing dealing specifically with the building of a mid engine, which is what I am exploring, for the moment.
I could of course "wing it" and make my own adjustments for the engine to be bolted behind the seats but here in Ontario Canada, when I will want to register this vehicle with MOT I will be asked to show formal engineering plans.

Thanks in advance.

Philippe

my design

See my design on this thread.

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=30627&page=3

A key part of the design is the use of 4x2 section around the engine bay which frees up this region by being strong enough without any diagonals which often get in the way of suspension and driveline.
