Front frame again

[spud69]

It will be okay Oz, as long as you line up the suspension brackets to the book by making a solid jig so that the brackets are in the correct position and lined up towards each other, you may just have to pack out the brackets slightly. The sides of the front frame will not be able to see with the nose cone on.

Well I wasn't happy with my front frame. I split it to reset it but ended up binning it. So I've made two new FF2/FF3. One of the reasons I wasn't happy was the angle that the brackets sat at. So I think tomorrow I might set them so the sides of FF2/FF3 sit square on to the chassis so the brackets will sit direct onto them without having to pack them out. It means the top and bottom will sit slightly skewed to the ends of FF1/FF4. Anyone see any problems arising out of doing it this way?

As long as the "skew" isn,t too much it should be ok, just be aware that the nose cone is made to fit the front frame like a glove, suggest maybe trial fit a nose during the process you are suggesting Gaz.

I looked at it this way also and actually thought it looked worse.With the front edge being square to ff1/ff4 there is only about a 2 degree error for out of square .Looking a p36 fig 4.6 there looks to be a secondary line also on the edge of ff2/ff3 which would to me seem to be showing the slight angle generated.
