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: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/32106-riviera-scratchbuilt-gt40.html
And the plans posted by Chris Melia in this thread: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tec...40-space-frame-drawings-plans.html#post221206
(I don't know where I got it, but I have a .dwg of the later plans aswell)
I've used René's plans as a starting point since they are in metric measurement but when I'm crosschecking some of the dimensions a couple of questions arise...
*For instance. The threshold under wich the tanks are situated are in René's plans 280mm from outside to inside the "cockpit". The plans posted by Chris are 292mm.
*The cockpit width is in René's plans 1070mm, and in the other plans 1168mm. And I've found a post here that states it should be 38.5" or 970mm.
*The overall chassis width is in René's plans 1630mm, but in the plans posted by Chris as much as 1727mm!
I would deeply appreciate if I could get some help here These are both scratchplans so if someone has a Tornado, RCR, CAV, Southern or any other chassies the he or she could take a quick measurement on it would really help me sorting this out
