Gun dog and adrian.
Would love to chat roadster.
I have started to clear garage, but too much stuff.
So purchase of 12 x 6 shed needed first to clear garage.
I have got to work out how to PM on here, so bear with me why I send you a msg.
One quick question though.
I have been looking up prices for steel, do you know of any companies nearby to purchase the required steel.
I have checked W L Cooke and they want £95 for the 25 x 25.

Secondly I would like to test my abilities to cut and fabricate.
Is there a part on the build that can be started first, I was thinking FF but if I buy from Handyandy then there would be little point, is there any other part that you could think of.

Martin

do the wishbones :D may as well start with the tricky bit first then everything is easy after.

Martin,
as Ash says you could do the wishbones or get yourself a 4ftx4ft sheet of 3mm steel and make up all your CP plates :)

cheers
andy

IMS steel stockholders are near you and cheapest by far. Pay cash, that helps too.

Also, pedal box may be a good starting point, easier than the wishbones!

Cheers

Adrian

Have a look at Essex Kit Car Club web site

http://www.essexkitcarclub.com/home.html

Lots of different cars and we could really do with more Haynes Roadsters, at least 4 first time passes (SVA), it's a growing club, MNR's, Tigers, Robin Hoods, MK's, Fisher Fury's and a couple of Furore's and a GTM Libra.

Some of us have workshop facilities and can do jobs for you.

We meet in and around Chelmsford but members come from all parts of Essex and we expect to arrange meets in all parts of Essex this new year.

Cheers guys, I will be ringing around now for the prices.

Thanks andy for the dimension of the Chassis plates.

I have now found a mate with an arc welder for tacking, so my plan is to make all the bolt in parts before buying the chassis, my garage is not clear yet but once it is then it is only 6 and 1/2 foot wide and will cramped for space.

Think I will start with the wishbones first, I assume i can use the 3mm plate to make the jigs and once finished i can cut up the jig plate to make the small cp parts?

Have a chat with Phil at Talon Motorsport before you start buying steel

he does a very nice chassis at a good price

He's in Essex so can have at look at what you get before buying...

We have one of his chassis with a R1 engine in the workshop now
