Andy, go to your local collage and see if you can do an NVQ in the Haynes Roadster Chassis, because you would not have to revise!

Pictures would be good, us meer mortals might have a chance

Cheers Ginge

The TR1 & TR2 rails are the easiest to remember as they are the longest single length tubes within the chassis

Maybe I do need to get out more

OK:

TR1 resting in place -


The discrepancy -


The frame 75mm measured with a plumb:


Measurement from BR12 to BR11:



More to follow...

[Airhead]

Measurement from BR12 to BR10:


Measurement from BR12 to FF1:


Finally 90 degrees on U5 and U6:

Aha! Well spotted - That sorted it - on closer examination FF1 wasn't sitting flat on the table - a bit of a wrnch to make the measurements as you describe and hey presto TR1 FITS!!!!!!!!

I deleted my post as I wanted to check your photos in more detail & make sure I was giving you correct info, wish I had my book at home

will get back to you asap.

other than a poss prob with the front frame, can I ask if BR1 & BR2 are cut correctly? ( said with respect ),
what I mean is, when you marked out your build table did you mark out the position of the base rails THEN add 25mm forward for the front frame or did you include the 25mm of the front frame position?
sorry, i,m just bouncing my thoughts about here to try to solve the prob.

not doubting your work, just double checking possible hiccups.
