Chris...just be aware that when using the MX5 as the donor there are a few parts of the chassis that are longer than book spec, its not alot, approx 0.5mtr, this is basically to accommodate the new diff cage arrangement. The overall dimensions of the length/ width of the chassis etc are the same as book spec details.

So I will be ok with 7x 6m 25mm and 3x 6m 20mm? CP plates? Checker Plate? Is the locost book a bit out on the locost weight 15kg really seems too light!?? And does the 6kg weight difference between 2mm and 1.6mm still stand for the roadster? Too many questions I know but I'm about to order the steel within the next few days hopefully.
