Ive started working on a custom chassis on paper. This is not a gt40, but it is similar. This chassis will be made to specific length/width/height to fit within a pre-existing body.
Ive reviewed some other chassis designs and it seems that where I put X-brace supporting, I could have used 1 diagonal bar, but would 1 diagonal bar really give as much support as the X? Am I just adding dead weight by using so many X's?
One of my main concerns is chassis rigidity, but another main concern is to make the chassis as light as possible.
Another problem is that under the passenger and driver's seats is one large X on each side...is this sufficient for a rigid structure?
