Hi Martin

You may find some usefull info in this thread

There was a tutorial on here at some point but I think it was one of the deleted posts :(

Personally, I made most of the parts up, tacked the frame together then offered them up to the chassis rails in the correct place & angle ..... Then fettled & tweaked to suit. ;)

It all worked out fine ..............The steering wheel & column fits as it should :)

When you make the angled plates with the slotted holes, then clamp them into position .........The whole frame makes a lot more sense, you'll get a much clearer picture of things :)

Hi Martin,

cp 24 go into the junction where BR1 & BR8 & BR2 & BR9 meet, the 2 CP24 plates are there to bridge the gap for the rear most lower wishbone suspension brackets sit.

hope that helps.
