chassis on ebay

[RAYLEE29]

yes fair enough point and I was very impressed by the price.
If i was building chassis to sell id want a fair bit more, is that a starting up special price or are you planning to keep it that low.

Fabby recomends stepping the outer leg of the support in by 25 mm for a nice smooth line

hi, never knew that, im yet to weld on the steering support, and as im getting fabbys side panels, i wondered if u had pics of what you mean as im not sure what you mean. Thanks

what i think Les is saying is when the time comes to fit the side panels the part of the steering wheel support frame that sits on the outside edge of the top chassis rail interferes with the side panel & so a little square has to be cut out of the side panel where it sits on the top rail at the point of the steering support frame,
hope that makes sense

It's no real drama but would be less worrying for folk if the rhs rails that support the column were inset a bit rather than sitting right on the edge of the chassis. Just means the grp sits on a little better and would help with doing ali sides too.

ok, roughly how many mm inset should it be or moved up, as im yet to fit the support,, it should be no problem moving it around a few mm. Thanks

Fabbys panels are snug
we are welding a bit of chamfered (both ends ) 25mm box to the inside edge of the top rail
and removing 25 mm from the horizontal piece of of the support so the R/H
leg is 25mm in from the top chassis rail
as Fabby says its no drama at all just makes it all that much nicer
and gives a bit more clearance in the scuttle area
its just easier to do it before than cut it off later or try and fettle the sidepanel around it
i,ll try and get TJ to post up some pics later in the week
cheers les g

[geeman]

ok, i think i understand it now, but if you could get pics that would be great. Thanks

[RAYLEE29]

Dont you have to cut the scuttle too? I may move mine if it makes a neater job. I still have 1 cutting disc left at mo lol
Ray

Yes you would need to notch the return edge on the scuttle.

How many places can the grp be bought from now as there is more and more folk doing the steel work side of it.

I tryed playing with that sticky smelly stuff awhile back when I was planning on making body kits for transits. Lets just say your in no danger of competion from me on that front.
