Hi Johno,

The guide is supposed to be read in conjunction with the haynes roadster book - just to make sure people still buy the manual..... i was asked to keep them as brief as possible for now.

There is bound to be some bits i have missed though so just give me shout. I will update the guide as time goes on, keeping a list now. Have to concentrate on the single seater for the moment though so the speed you 4 are going i'll be back to you for advice on certain things.

Go the engine going finally in the single seater and it sounds awesome, had to fully strip and clean out the carbs and reset the pilot screws but thanks to help from Noel and Nathan we got the heart beating and can crack on now.

Cheers.......AndyH

I'll set you a challenge if your up for it, by myself I can make turn lengths of material in to a fully welded chassis in 18 hours. As there are 4 of you it should only take you 4.5-5 hours start to finish....off you go then!

Thats great phil can I pay you by the hour for our three chassis ?????????

Too late for that Ayjay Simons already on the case...LOL

Simon,
Lets get it straight. I didn't mark the jig 25mm for the transmission tunnel as you implied it was just a thick pen.....

That's the excuse I make " Picked up the wrong marker Honest "

were not really cutting the compound angles! just using a horizontal ban saw that can cut to 60' and then shaping them with a sander!

not sure how long it would take to build a chassis for 1 person but i cut all the steel for chassis 2 in about 2 hours!
