Hi, My name is Udo, I'm in Darwin NT and I'm also building a McLaren Replica, an M6B. I haven't posted for along time, I did have a GT40 replica, but now I'm starting this new project.
I've been following Russell Keach's and Leonmac's progress with much admiration. Leon's doing a fantastic job and so is Russell who's had practice at it.
So far I've spent the last 6 months just gathering parts and mocking up a timber chassis, I'll post some pictures soon.
My question to anybody out there is, does anyone know the roll centre of an M6B, so I can start on suspension design. I am using M6GT thru M12 uprights front and rear with M8 wheels, so it might need some massaging of the chassis design.
I would also love to know some other dimensions around the front bulkhead, but as far as I know there are no M6's in Australia, otherwise I would jump on a plane with tape measure in hand. Are there any in New Zealand ?
I know this will be a challenge, especially as my location in Darwin is fairly isolated, but that's where the internet comes in.
I would love to hear from anyone who has any information and advise, nad I'll keep this Thread going.
Regards, Udo.
