I could do, it as flat pack but prefer not to as Without the Jig Table it would probably warp and loads of chance to get the welding sequence wrong! ( about 3 test chassis out in the back yard rusting, waiting for the scrap)!! However plans are a foot and already laser parts are cut, to build a 4x2 L W (Lighter weight version) From this year onwards I am offering L W versions of several parts Not yet on the Jig table so not sure on weight but probably in the 65 ish KG region and hopefully Ali front sump guards From a local source!! pony |

Tank Hmm looking to fit 2 about 10 litre each on each side of the rear chassis legs under the boot floor Ali, so am working on the drawings this week and may have one in 2 weeks however for the future A stock tank would be best but still aint found what i am lookin for! Nothing available in the Citroen Peugeot Range |

Close the tunnel/tube in the chassis at the front and rear end, al least 30 liters only problem is going up/downhill when almost empty Now what is that tunnel/tube for anyway...... propshaft goes above the chassis I guess |

1/ Closer to 15 litres? 2/ Torque tube? http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/trex ... -true-tor/ lpgo wrote: Close the tunnel/tube in the chassis at the front and rear end, al least 30 liters only problem is going up/downhill when almost empty Now what is that tunnel/tube for anyway...... propshaft goes above the chassis I guess |

Other ways have crossed my mind, that's for sure...

Actually the tube down the centre of the chassis really does make it stiffer I use round tubing as 100 mm of tube gives about 310 mm of un rolled plate this is about 25 % less than a box section 100 mm tubing with 2.00 mm wall thickness is Easy to find and fair price Does not distort during welding and and and And more importantly Mounting possibility for Seat belts Seats Propshaft bearing (also i hope to seal in the drive train with rubber bellows to the gear box and diff so mud free enviroment! Think back to Haflinger they use a tube for the main chassis! pony |
