My chassis build

I would errr on the "keep it lower than 355mm" for the chassis height by a milly or so rather than being high as higher will play hell with body work, more to the point the fitting of the nosecone.

double check the measurement on br7. if that is correct the problem will be caused by the front frame being wrong. if it is the ff that is wrong and it was my chassis i would cut it out and do it again.

ff2 and ff3 are gits to cut. have you considered buying just ff2 and ff3 from armoto as they are cnc cut and spot on it will prob cost you £10 to save a lot of cocking around.

I'll second that Ash.

That front frame gave me a hard time

I ended up making a second one

Ok, problem solved, it was that the part of ff2 and ff3 that was meant to be 290mm was about 4-5mm too long on either side. I just cut into it with the angle grinder and cut about 4mm off on eithe side. The thing is once i took the grinder out, ff2 and ff3 sprund downward showing that tr1 and tr2 had been forcably bent becasue ff2 and 3 were too long. Ok now to get u7 u1 and u2 fitted

Edit: also it was a very quick fix, less than 15 min

Ok, well i just tacked in u1 and u2, but ive lowered tr1 and tr2 just abit lower than 355 to about 354, this means that the distance between u1 and u2 is about 359 not 361mm, but i dont think this will be a problem

the measurement of 359mm instead 361mm is critical but can be resolved.............

the position of U1 & U2 creates the angle & measurement of the upper rear suspension brackets ( front suspension ) , so when time comes when you fit these brackets be aware that the measurement change will need to taken into account
myself i would try to maintain the distance of 361mm between the uprights as it makes it easier to correctly place the suspension brackets.

hope this makes sense? the geometry of the suspension set up is a critical one as it affects various things.

happy building
