inch by inch??
has anyone else used inch by inch box section for the chassis?
or is 25mm the one i want? its a tiny bit different but i can get inch by inch cheaper than 25 by 25 think the differance is inch by inch is 25.4mm cheers Jake |
You really won't notice any difference.
The distortion caused by welding would generally be more than 0.4mm. You would want 16 gauge, which is 1.6mm wall. |
If your going for fibreglass side panels just make sure that the depth of your chassis is to the book as the panels are a close fit and the extra 1mm might make it a squeeze. If going for ali then it won't really matter.

cheers for the advice.
not sure on the panels yet. my dad knows/knew a guy who had the equipment to make and cure carbon fibre (he was building a car which he designed from scratch and wanted carbon fibre bodywork) so that may be an option but if that comes to nothing i will probably use fiber-glass for the weight reduction purpose i will still make the chassis however tall its meant to be in certain places... i have some usefull drawing software so i can check the amount difference on the angled cuts and wot'not. shouldnt be too much trouble and saving about £30 for me is well worth it because im a poor student! (and generaly cheap) Cheers Jake |

I would imagine that it is heavier than Ally. Then again, all depends on the weight of the glass, how many layers, plus resin content |
