Re: LOLA Monocoques

Yes, that´s Chris´s website. To my knowledge, there are hardly any other websites providing really useful informations on building rivited and bonded tubs. For my own chassis build, I always found all things aircraft building extremly helpful. See

AC 43.13-1B CHG 1 [Large AC. This includes Change 1.] Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair

Best,
Marcus

Re: LOLA Monocoques

John Starkey has a few volumes about Lolas...the content and history change from one print to the next reprint..but generally pretty good.
