    Triangulated Chassis?

    Hi Guys, It was an antipodean one (which had apparently been built in Capetown) It was not one of the several established makes that we all know and love! The other interesting thing was that the chassis tubing did not extend around the windscreen area. It is for sale in Jo'berg somewhere I...

    Triangulated Chassis?

    JP, Thanks. Yes, I understand your point and agree with it. But the FINISHED chassis that I saw contained few of the diagonal bars, hence my question. I can only assume that: a - The chassis is incorrectly built and will flex to an unnaceptable degree or b - It makes little difference to...

    Triangulated Chassis?

    I was looking at a GT40 chassis that seemed to be comprised mainly of rectangles instead of triangles. Has any empirical data been compiled comparing one to the other? Does anyone know a good reason for using rectangles rather than the "traditional" triangulated system? Rick

    A Roaring Forties with all the Options !

    Hersh, If that is sway bar adjustment, I am guessing (from the levers) that it is front and rear. Does it have a detent for road use and a similar one for track use with graduations in between? Does the adjustment happen at the frame end or control arm end - cant picture it. Rick
