Hello Jim
You really have to congrats the subcontractor manufacturing for you that Rollbar welded frame as it seems that it fit perfectly to the carbon fiber tub ;thinking how much these welded tubes can distort when welding and how much accurate a carbon fiber tub can be as it is drilled in a five CNC axis machine !!!!
Bravo , this is another nice step reached ! Félicitations .....

On the site there is one doing a stupid comment about The weight of the frame and Colin Chapman ..... this man does not understand why so many young guys are locating that part ; I guess as in every modern new team they are all part of the building or engineering team and they are so proud to touch such a complicate part they received that everyone want to help and have an hand into THE THING ????
I had this when building our LM cars and this is so nice to watchand understand how each one of these young guys is concerned by your project !!!!
Bravo again Jim !
