It's been a little while since I had time to work on this project but I've slowly been getting back onto it again. As I'm not a welder I wanted to try and minimise chassis jigs and welding as much as...

As usual work has been keeping me away from this but it's been bubbling in my head for a while. I wasn't ever really happy with my chassis design/layout although I think from a rigidity stand point...

Completely agree. I actually started from max overall dimensions which gave me approximate overhangs and wheelbase / track. Kinematic so are done although there is room for adjustment. Brakes,...

Where the rear of the chassis is mounted to the aluminium diff casing is a fixed point. Loads are then applied via a remote truss about the front axle (twisting motion).

We make our own from scratch, as seen on the build from Australia. We usually use a Motorsport derived press fit bearing into a billet 70 series upright. Can provide many more details but might not...

Couldn't help having a play around with the new rendering software...

This is good to know. There will definitely be some elements stressed just is the nature of mounting the engine. Updates have been slow as I'm busy making a living designing uprights and brakes, but...

As a side note, if anyone wants generic CAD models for things like dampers, steering wheels and dummy drivers (as I have used here) I use a website called www.grabcad.com

Just thought I should add some more thoughts. A few member have mentioned the chassis as a area I should be looking at further, especially when it comes to the stiffness. This will be addressed...

I have already received a few messages with some advice which has already been undertaken. No doubt there will be more to come and I look forward to it.

And some more screenshots.

This is something we've been working on for the past 6 weeks. It is far from complete at the moment and is at least 6 months away from getting started on something tangible. We are using it as a...
