3mm drills, hacksaws, grinding equipment, stock? You had all that and reckoned you were short of money? Point of view thing, I reckon. We couldn't afford any of that stuff. We would have had to find scrap and beat it to shape between two rocks!

We used to dream of having 2 rocks..........

:D this reminds me of a Monty Python sketch,

"you were lucky ! we lived in a shoe box " etc

made me smile this sunny sunday morning :D

i bought my chassis plates from 3ge good quality and well worth the money

Does the forum have a promotional code to enter on the 3ge website when ordering or do i have to contact him for a price?

James....

if you look in the announcements section, on the 2nd page, approx 5 threads down the list is a thread started by 3GE stating what to do to get your forum discount.
hope that helps.

andy

type forum10 in the promo code bit on 3ge website

My turn!
 

Thanks for the comments- seems like I've been well & truly told!!

Looked at 3ge & I will probably order their plate/brake etc kits when I get that far- everyone that has commented on them has been very positive.

Leaving that behind, I need a chassis!!!

3ge are complete, with a waiting list, as are Talon. Armoto (on eBay) seem to have disappeared & no matter how hard I try, I cannot find ANYONE who knows of or sells a flat pack chassis.

Or am I being a moron?

Again!

Please help- I've been bought, borrowed, begged & (whisper) stolen everything to go & now I'm stuck!!

handy andy will do you a chassis if you ask him nicely

Do you not have welding plant? Why not build your own, saving a few hundred quid in the process?

How long is the Talon waiting list? If you have waited a month trying to decide where to get your chassis plates from, then surely waiting a little longer for a chassis shouldn't be a problem.

'If' I were to buy a chassis that would have been the first thing I got, because whilst waiting for it I could have been cutting the chassis plates, if they were'nt included on the chassis.

I cut the vast majority of my chassis plates myself, and the only bits I bought in were the 10mm plate for the rear uprights and the 5" tube. It is very satisfying, and a great learning experience
