Frame with all "stressed panels" and additional members comes in at 160kg in steel. Not super light weight - how does that compare to the GT40 replicas?

Thanks for the comment, tried some panels - makes a significant difference. Added a bottom "stressed panel" (1mm steel or 3mm aluminium) Added side panels then additionally Added panels and additional members on the front and at the rear Outcome with respect to baseline - almost...

Checked the torsional stiffness of that frame today. The front left damper attachment point is pulled up with 1 ton here, whereas the other 3x damper attachment points are not allowed to move. The front left point of the frame deforms almost 70mm according to that model. Stresses exceed...

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.

Thanks, found them https://www.bremar3dscanstore.com/all-scan-files

Absolutely, that makes sense. I am considering using a 5mm CFRP sheet for that: https://www.carbon-composite.com/Carbon-Platte-5.0mm/CP050-1 Unsure if this is common?

Thanks for the reply. Can you explain what you mean by a stressed panel? Do you mean a sandwich panel? Please let me know.

Are there any proper drawings for these available?

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...

LS versus W12 in that Countach / Lorico frame

Okay, do you happen to have a link?

Hi there, Found this image on the web and was wondering if anyone knows whose build this is? This is a Corvette suspension setup and I am looking for the pick up points to make something similar. Anti-dive in the C5/C6 suspension:

GrabCAD has some good stuff - complete blueprints here https://grabcad.com/library/gt40-mk1-original-mk-1-chassis-blueprints-1 Unfortunately no CAD assembly

Look, these W12 engines are one of the most underrated engines ever made. There is no aftermarket for them, which is why they are very affordable. I want to put one into a Countach replica....

Attached to help the project moving forward. What I need next: What is the distance between the flywheel clutch mounting surface and the flange mounting surface of the G86.20? Does anyone have this measurement? I asked KENNEDY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS, INC. - they have this measurement as they make...

Okay, found somebody that makes a flywheel for the W12 with a manual clutch: ttvracing.com/product/audi-s8-w12-96-to-01e-gearbox-with-rs4-b7-clutch/ I hope they are willing to help me here. I would need a different version of that flywheel so that it can accept this clutch...

Which transaxles could accept a 310-mm-diameter flywheel?

Thanks for the replies. Measured up the W12 and designed the adapter this evening. The green 20mm thick plate mounts on the G86.20 transaxle, the blue 40mm thick plate mounts on the W12 engine. Does it make sense to mount a custom flywheel directly on the flexplate? If I use the flexplate as...

Measured up the G86.20 today!

Ok, contacted a few machine shops and clutch specialists "We cannot make you a custom engine adapter kit for this engine to a Porsche Boxster transaxle, there is no placement for a starter and there is not placement on the custom flywheel that we would make for the Porsche Boxster use to put a...
