I'm no engineer but I think your chassis need more triangulations.

yes it would if it was finished. it is only half done i am just putting the engine in place so that i can work out where i need the engine mounts in
the hope that i can incorporate them in with the triangulation.
did you understand that cos i confused myself half way thru writing it!

Beware getting angles to acute with the cross bracing, not only does it make it less effective but it makes it a PITA to weld the joint together.
I know this from experience gained the hard way.

are you referring to the cross shape at the back, if so i am still playing about with that so it shouldnt be as acute, thanks for the advice.

Hi, 38mm X 2.5mm I would think that is very heavy 1.5mm would be more than adequate as long as you do not put any bending loads in the middle of your
tubes, and Triangulate with 1mm, Hope that helps Regards DM
