Lightbulb BR7 tube question

BR7 should be:

409,92mm like in new fig. 4.2

or

428mm from page 161

and how many mm should be between BR7 and BR10 ?

I cut my BR7 to 428mm as per cutting list on page 161

Looking at figure 4.2 on page 34 the overall dimensions given to the outsides of BR8 & BR9 is given as 478mm

Deduct 50mm for those 2 tubes 478mm - 50mm = 428mm length for tube BR7

The drawing is correct as far as I know, I do not remember any amendments to this part of the chassis.

No idea as to where you get the 409.92mm from !!??( 410mm in the real world )

the dimension of 409.92 is the dimension of where BR8 & BR9 meet the rails BR1 & BR2 NOT the position of BR7, which is why i couldn,t understand your original post question.

i would suggest you place BR7 as per the book dimensions stated on page 34, fig 4.2

cheers

Exclamation Careful how you go

I don't know where that drawing has sprung up from

The front section of that drawing looks to be narrower than the book one.

You might want to cross-reference those diagonal measuments against the ones shown in fig 4.2 on page 34

If you build your chassis to that layout, I don't fancy your chances of fitting the front suspension brackets
