Useful locost info
some info i thought is useful...
the rover V8 is in fact lighter than the essex V6
Rover 3500 V8 318 lb
Ford "essex" V6 379 lb
http://locost7.info/files/engine/EngineWeights2000.htm
A company called "mellard" will supply steel that is fully cut to length and angle for the locost chassis for £70 delivered (this will
make the chassis and transmission tunnel with a 2mm wall thickness) (01782 744777) they are based in stoke but i belive they will deliver
nationwide
Airproducts charge £21.50 per refill on the medium co2/argon mix with a 30p/day rental wheras BOC charge £42 per refill with a £52 Rental charge
So if you were to get all of you RHS chassis tubes cut and you welded them over a month Airproducts would be much cheaper than BOC.
I hope this is useful to at least one person
Im hoping to get my build underway at the weekend
Cheers Matt h.
im going to live forever or die trying
