made myself a build board and painted white to show up the fine pen line i then marked out to the book spec on p34.
and as i thort almost evey tube is not where it should be
its out at the back and gets worse as you go to the front
ff1 turns out to be 9mm to far forward and offset to the offside and also not quiet the right length
br7 is 25mm to far forward and u1&2 ar fitted in the wrong place because of it
br1&2 are too long and im pritty sure thay ar not fitted at the same angle to br10 where the off set to ff1 is coming from br 10 is offset a bit off of center to
br8&9 are not inline withe the centerline
the bulkhead uprights are not fitted at 90deg to the br tubes but thats no biggy compared to the above.

the only thing for it is to start from scratch

anyone a wizz with ebay and paypal im thinking maybe it was a good move paying by credit card

now that you have more detailed info to what is incorrect on the chassis.....
You say the back end is out, is that just the 2mm extra length between BR10 to BR12 ?
Are the angles of the the seat back frame ( SB1 etc ) correct?

If so then you might be able to "save " the chassis by removing everything forward of BR10, maybe even re using some of the cut out tubing, & maybe having a new front frame, now that you have the build table all marked out you can then correct everything to book spec.

cheers

The only problem i can see with getting your money back is that it doesn't say in the ad that its built to book spec so that is a bit of a hurdle.As the seller has a 100% rating i would try to negotiate getting your money back and mention you will leave negative feedback and list his ebay id on the forum.Another thought is if poss to take a pic of the chassis on your build table and send him the pic as confirmation as he may genuinely believe he built it correctly.

looking at it i would need to cut off everything in front of sb1 etc, the cp's for the shock/roll bar mounts need to come off, the rear panel has been made of box and has square corners, this would only leave the seat back and rs section that i can't be sure is any good without cuting and more mesurements.
to be honest my trust in anything made as it should is just not in me any more.
its more of a case of fresh start
the last thing i need is finding more probs later down the line.

theres nothing like the old sayings mesure twice cut once, check and doubble check then check it again to be sure, jig it clamp it keep it there and only tack it then weld it at the end when your doubble sure

thoes of us only know what happens if we dont

you only have to heat a bit of tube and watch it bend with the expansion

I,ve just been looking at the photo on the ebay link you have given earlier in this thread, I noticed that there appears to be a "Kneeling mat" under the front of the chassis, even tho the rest of the chassis is sat on a wooden board.
Have you tried getting an Ebay dispute case started? as the chassis obviously isn,t correct?

Did you receive the build table template i sent you?

cheers
andy
