    Looking for opionions on my frame design.

    H.J.Bayer: Those where some nice brackets, I might just copy that design a little for a couple of the suspension points ;) Ian: Yeah I noticed after I had drawn it and open the dummy figure again.. I'm not short, I'm 1.93m or 6f 3 inches. So that will be revised when I start on the real...

    Looking for opionions on my frame design.

    Some alterations and mounting points for control arms added. I have also placed coilovers where I imagine they might be placed later on. The small tubing is 20mm as oppsed to the main tubing that is 40mm for the moment. Mostly to separate which tubes are main tubes and which are not. Usually...

    Looking for opionions on my frame design.

    Hi, I have a habit of making things more difficult for myself than need be.. I could just copy an existing frame and be happy with it, buuuut... accepting something as it is has never been my strong suit :) I'll also start with stating that my GT40 dreams are not to build a "replica". I love...

    James' GT-Forté scratch build GT40 MkI

    Another thing to consider using that design compared to a design wich mounts the coilover closer to the upright is that you get a higher load from two different ways. First of all, you get a lever effect from the wheel to the mounting point. The further apart they are, the greater the stress on...

    Need help double checking a couple of spaceframe measurements.

    The plan I have at the moment is that IF I get started on the chassies before I get a hold of a body I'm only going to weld up the ground structure to make it a rolling chassies! If I leave out the rollbar/rear bulkhead, the structure to mount the dash and bottom of the windsheild and the front...

    Need help double checking a couple of spaceframe measurements.

    Thanks Mick! That clears a few things up :) Yeah a body would sure be nice to have! Unfortunatly I don't have the money today... Otherwise It is very likely I had already ordered one... I'm working on it thou :)

    Need help double checking a couple of spaceframe measurements.

    I'm currently drawing up a set of blueprints for my own scratchbuilt chassis. I'm doing this without having a body to measure on so it's a little tricky :) To my help I have had the plans posted by René in his buildthread...

    I need a couple of body measurement.

    Thanks but I think I'll manage for now ;) I'm still in a very early stage of this "project" if it even can be called that at this point! I'm mainly researching wich parts to use, where to buy a body, suspension design, wheel dimensions and so on :) From what I've found so far, the footwell...

    I need a couple of body measurement.

    I've read your build thread (along with a whole lot more over the years) Here's the link: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/17261-my-scratch-built-project.html An impressive build :) Front suspension looks to have a nice geometry. Most of the pic's I've seen, and some of the...

    I need a couple of body measurement.

    Great info Phil and Fred! Thanks! That should give me enough to calculate with for the coming week or two ;) Phil, those 15x10's, with 5" backspace, I guess you're running zero offset on them?

    I need a couple of body measurement.

    Thanks! :) Althou, since the body should be the same, the widest point over the tyres should be somewhat the same on all models. And if you have the wheel offset, wheel width and track it's easy to calculate that specific cars measurement between the disc's face's and from there make a judgement...

    I need a couple of body measurement.

    I'm planning a future build and are currently trying to deside what parts to use for the front and rear suspension (this will be a scratchbuild) But I need to know the "maximum" width of the outside of the tires front and rear. In other words: What is the "maximum" measurement of the...

    A Riviera scratchbuilt GT40

    Very interesting build :) I've wanted to build a GT40 myself for several years now but I have to wait until I have a good place to work at... How much did the body cost? I've had the same plan myself, building the spaceframe myself and just ordering a body to reduce cost's and to be able to do...

    Chassis drawings/blueprints?

    spaceframe or mono doesn't really matter! But a mono would ofcourse be more "fun" to build :) Thanks for all the help sofar, the spacefram drawings looked good, I'll take a closer look on them now ;)

    A simple question!

    Rune: If I had the money, buying a kit from Göran is what I would do! Without even blinking twice! But I don't have the money and that's why I started this thread... allthough I am thinking more and more in the ways of taking a loan and buying myself a basickit from Sportscar.se... we'll see.. I...
