Chevron B16 Replica

[David S.]

Eric,
The uprights by Raceleda can be found on any locost builders site in the UK. They are much the same as the set I purchased from GTS Tuning. They are Cortina Mk1 or 2. I do not know if MVR is still in buisiness. Talk to Darren George at GTS in the UK he know's what he is doing (ex F1 engineer)and can get you anything that RalleyDesign sells and ship it to you. Dave, I will e-mail you. I am hoping to have a full set of drawings done by the end of August on Pro-Engineer after I get this all figured out. I hope to layout the bolt on front end next week.

Eric I have a set of drawings showing the new front hubs that I had made with increased off set and incorperating a hat for the WILLWOOD disc`s. These can then be drilled at what ever stud pattern you wish.
Cheers

Just an Update,
Last week two Engineering Students from University of Toronto came by to measure what I had done so far. We spent seven hours going over the drawings and taking measurements off my chassis for the CAD drawings. The oringinal drawings were out and I had made the changes for the body to fit properly. So far they like what I have done and have made some plans for my car, other than the drawings. These guys were on the Solar Racer Team for U of T and are looking for another project in alternative fuels. They like all the room I have in the rear of the car and its weight. I hope to have the new steel this week so I can start a fresh chassis. I will keep you posted.

Just an Update.
The new chassis drawings are done and I will be going over them on Monday. I have the new steel and I am ready to go on with the new chassis. I still have the bolt on front end and control arm sketches to do to add to the drawings. I may do two types of control arms. (ball joints and bushings for Cortina Uprights ) The original is pins and spherical joints.(Chevron Uprights) I talked to Roger Andreason in July and sent him some pictures. He said I was the only guy he knew of building a Chevron B16 in North America. He also confirmed my tubing was too large. Everything now is correct and I am trying to find a shop to roll flat some round stock for the rear suspension shock tower mounts. Scott , Jim and Fran again thanks for your help. Scott I will send you down a set after we convert it to PDF alot with a VIN plate.

Accelerator pedal drawing, hope this helps all who need it. It is for the open wheelers (b24, 25 etc) but might be similar to the B16 etc
