Any one who have the CAD file of the original or tubolar chassis for sale or "give away" : )

Unfortunately no CAD assembly
I have all these spaceframe drawings which have been floating around here and there. Should I upload them to grabcad? I saw some snitch trying to sell them on ebay aswell.
No don't upload to grabcad. The original drawings on there are enough and people need to learn the factory drawings.
But what about those who want to build a spaceframe and not a monocoque? Shouldn't they alse have access to some prints as a start?
Spaceframe is a much different animal and that is where most people should start .
You may want to consider uploading them here on GT40s - where they’ll be preserved and made available to our members..
I would appreciate receiving a copy. Yes, I would definitely upload to GrabCAD and also upload them here. The more upload areas, the better in my view.
I would run an FEA simulation to understand torsional stiffness as compared to the Prova/Lorico chassis I am using. Here some more info:
VW W12 to Porsche G86.20 transaxle
wh What do you mean? Can you explain? These chassis were road legal back in the 80ies in Germany... They were built by a company named "Lorico". I have the TUEV (traffic authority) documents here, they complain that the torsional stiffness in the rear is very low but that did not render the...

Long time since i did some FEA work and never tried this approach;
Are you able to determine the required torque to twist the chassis 1 degree?
Leave one of the springmounts floating, ground one and constrain the last two against vertical movement.

Yes, I added these numbers to my post!
Thanks for sending this to me.
This is made from 40x40 mostly, quite similar to the Prova/Lorico frame I am working on. Unfortunately, I have no CAD assembly of this frame here.
Does anyone have a CAD assembly?
I do have a second design in CAD that is made from round tubing:
If anyone has more information, please let us know

A Riviera scratchbuilt GT40
Hello members , The time is now arrived for me to post my first thread after several months of "guest" position on this forum .. It has been such a major source of informations for my project that I feel now to have to "cross the border" and share my new experience on a GT40 MK1 scratchbuilt...

Thanks for the link.
So far, I have two different GT40 frames in CAD. They are quite different from each other. Unsure if the red one (all round tubing) "is real".
