Help - GT40 Space Frame Drawings and Plans

I found the web guy prints lacked accuracy. Free prints & complete prints are something I could not find. Buy a body and build a chassis to fit. I am sure you can get help if you ask the right people.

Clambered into the car for the first time last weekend, with the objective of making broom broom noises and looking clever. Only problem was that I didn't fit.

The floor was sitting on top of 37mm tube, and the roll cage drops the ceiling by 30mm.

Decided to remove the tubes under the seat and pedals, to lower both. However, this leaves a large un-triangulated open space for the cockpit floor. Can anyone point me in the direction of a method of getting at least some diagonal strength back into this area?

have a look at russ nobles build, (I did realise it had got so big until i tried finding this)

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/16138-kiwi-scratchbuilt-17.html#post271629

there is an x of square tube that goes across the floor of the cockpit from corner to corner. To give it strength is a folded v upside down on the floor panel that doubles as a seat, give strength in a side impact and strengthens up the sheet used for the floor panel agains all sorts of flex ( try it with light card and you will see)

Does anybody no where i can get my hands on plans like the ones chris submitted ??
if so plz email me th link or guid me in th general direction thnx lee

 

A few years ago I down loaded what I think are the same plans.
They are with a white background rather than the dark.
Might be easy'r to copy and inlarge ?
I have them in two zip files.
I think a bit large to post here.
So rather than take up a lot of space.
If some one wants a copy of them ?
Give me a shout and I'll send them direct to you.
