Complete list of materials needed!!
 

Hi

This is my first post

The plan 2 zetec, i have mt75 gearbox already from a friend building mk indy 1200 BEC. I am going to try and do everything possible to do it on a very low budget. I an very well honed at megasquirt now and have experince setting up on the rollers so running the zetec on throttle bodies from a bike is where i am heading.


I am looking for a list of exactly how much of each size box/tube i need for complete chassis including suspension.

I work in an engineering workshop where i have access to just about an saw/welder lathe/milling machine/cnc plasma etc i will need to build. I will do my best to order everything through work which I can then order at cost+10%. Hope to get the material as cheap as possible.


So far this looks to be a friendly forum:D

Welcome to the mad house :)

Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for the link... all i can see is the list for the box section.

What other tube will I need?

Maybe I should get my head stuck into the book and work it out for myself :confused:

Hi Mike
6m of 25mm Dia (1") seamless mechanical grade 2mm wall and 3m of 19mmDia (3/4") seamless mech grade 2mm wall for the suspension.... a lump of 3mm steel i'd guess around 1/2 sq m for chassis plates .... a small chunk of 5mm steel around 1/2 sq m of 1mm steel. Check the book for the rest as I am not that far on my build yet, if your in an engineering shop I guess the scrap bin will furnish you with all you will need.......oh.... welcome and get building.
