ah, i see what you mean now Martin, sorry, last night as i mentioned i was tired .

for the measurement you are looking for i used the center diagram on page 38 fig 4.8.
in the center diagram using the dimensions of 2360 minus 2095 = 265 ( total length of bottom of chassis V length of bottom of chassis to forward face of U1 & 2 ) then subtract 75 from 265 =190

so the intersection of the front point of U1 U2 under the TR1 & TR2 rails is 190mm rearwards from the front face of the front frame part FF4,

make sure you take the 190mm from FF4 & not FF1 as they are 75mm apart due to the "lean back effect" of the whole front frame.

i hope this helps.

cheers

Martin,

Looking good mate. We are not a million miles apart when it comes to progress.

I really must get into the garage and start welding the 3GE chassis plates on, arm is a little tight today.

Now, am I missing something, but there is one you prepared earlier in the background!

Hi guys yes it is a compound band saw wife asked what I wanted for xmass and I just happened to have looking at this saw and I mensioned it and she said that I could have it so happy days. The other car is a lowcost which is 95% finished started it about 7 years ago but life got in the way .no one I know has one and parts are hard to find except in the uk
