is it just me or does the avon chassis look over engineered in places??

and then the round tube at the back look as if its been done cos they had run out of square tube???

I have that feeling as well. What I have tried is to use the design for the IRS and put that into the RC or Jim McSorely design chassis.
The amount of different types and sizes of tubes makes it more difficult as well.
Also the fact that they want to sell you the GRP tub makes it possible to have no backend with round curved tubes.

had a better look at the book 2 day is it just me or does it just give the diagrams for the rear hub carriers but not wot to make them from or how to do it.

and wot car do the wish bone bushes come from

i maybe have just missed it (flicked through it durin t-break)

but it seems more like a build manuel for the kit and how we make a 2 seater sports car rather how to make etc etc if u catch my drift

I agree with that, maybe that's why they give you your money back when you buy a kit or chassis from them.

Anoying isnt it!

I assumed it was because they didnt wnat it going on the web.

It looks like they have fabbed it from from plate and welded the edge webbing both sides. rather than pressing plate as lolocost do.

I think theyll rush you £35 each hub but £4 per bush.

I am still wondering what to do - have rear disc brakes. MK charges £45 each but they are smarter.

If you mean the tube alongside the passenger compartment they are there for the Fg body work to roll over.

As far as the rear uprights go, i asked Tiger if the drawing of the upright was the nearside or offside, they couldn't tell me, i had to fab my own coz i am using cozzi shafts (they are bigger) and they couldn't tell what car the bushes came from.......
