Chassis Wish List
 

Hi all,

Just a quick one. Anyone know what metals and qtys are needed to build chassis. Looking to get supplies but the qtys always seem diff when I calculate. Anyone have a pre written wish list that they have used.


Many thanks

James

What about round tube needed? That threads just talk about square tube?

i've got it down to 4 lengths of 25x25 and 2 lengths of 20x20 and i have tiny ammounts left over, I later realised when making the front frame there is an ammendment with the lengths of FF2 and FF3 they are 259.5 i think and the book says less.

Surely you can work out the round tube required:confused:

Let me know if you want a copy.

EDIT: I can't remember if the costs on the snippet are those I paid. Seems mighty expensive. However, I do remember the steel costing alot more than I anticipated. Steel isn't cheap and it has more than doubled in price over the last few years.
