Blimey, you guys don't mess about do you :eek:
Don't get people started on the missing dimensions in the Saturn plans :p
I'm sure Spud at Saturn will be more than happy to advise if you give him a shout.
I've just finished building a Saturn MX5 chassis, thought I'd done well to do it in 7 months, but I'm sure you lot will put me to shame, lol

I seem to remember spud saying that the missing dimensions are book spec dont quote me on that but if you have any doubts give him a shout he is a top bloke and will bend over backwards to help/advise builders

Hope this helps

Dave

Holey moley guy's
 

Number 2 chassis in the jig already :eek:

The 4 of you are definatey cracking on with the job in hand :)

As said, If unsure of any measurements just ask on here or contact Saturn ( Spud69 on here )
He is very helpfull & will be only too pleased to assist in any way he can.

The way the crew are working you should be able to strip that MX5 donor during a lunch break :D

Seriously, well done chaps, I look forward to following your progress.

Johno! Who marked the jig out with 25mm lines for TT!!!! :D

Ooops :D :D

Put " Must try harder " on his build report card :)

Hi Johno,

The guide is supposed to be read in conjunction with the haynes roadster book - just to make sure people still buy the manual.....;) i was asked to keep them as brief as possible for now.

There is bound to be some bits i have missed though so just give me shout. I will update the guide as time goes on, keeping a list now. Have to concentrate on the single seater for the moment though so the speed you 4 are going i'll be back to you for advice on certain things.

Go the engine going finally in the single seater and it sounds awesome, had to fully strip and clean out the carbs and reset the pilot screws but thanks to help from Noel and Nathan we got the heart beating and can crack on now.

Cheers.......AndyH

Dont make them rush !
They'll start making more mistakes:o

Thats great phil can I pay you by the hour for our three chassis ?????????:D :D :D :D

Bob

were not really cutting the compound angles! just using a horizontal ban saw that can cut to 60' and then shaping them with a sander!

not sure how long it would take to build a chassis for 1 person but i cut all the steel for chassis 2 in about 2 hours!

I love a challange
 

Whats a compound angle....LOL:rolleyes:
It's easier to build more than one for us as we can double up in the saw on material. Progress will slow down soon I guess as we start the suspension and wishbones seeing none of us know what we are doing...
Now drawing the parts for laser cutting and machining (no rest for the aged).
Can't wait to get these baby's on the road but for most of us our deadlines are next summer.
The biggest problem we have got at the moment is we are so busy at work we only get 1/2 an hour at dinner and an hour or so at night to work on the cars but we did have a whole day Saturday.

You Guys are are the support we need to push on so can you post photos of your build to spur us on even further......

Thanks guys for all your support hopefully Simon will put photos of our progress on the forum tomorrow (if wifey will let him....LOL) sorry Katie.:D

Keep up the good work....Johno
