In the case of the Mirage chassis, I suggest contacting fellow forum member Charely Farley. I'm sure he'll provide you with answers to all your questions. He did for me.
Best,
T.

T,
Thank you for your advice. Charlie Farlie is not the only one who has first-hand experience with Mirage.
I will offer that I personally have more experience as a customer with Mirage than anybody on this forum so feel free to ask me.
The chassis in the top shot is mine and two other members on this forum own a couple of the others.
FAV,
Nice work if I may say so.
Keith,
Byr the way, you are still welcome for that beer anytime, so go and have a look, Mirage are only twenty minutes away from you - near the old GTD shop. Let me know and I will also come down.

Tim, Looking at a few post about GOX, it looks like he is making just thirteen chassis. Why thirteen? Traditionally
not a good luck number! Is he planning on making more after the first thirteen?

Saw the drawings too; for mk1 and mk2A/B. Around 2500 pcs. Didn`t check every drawing with magnifying glass, but almost.  It was fun...
