how much do the rivets weigh?
and how much do you save from the holes you've drilled out of the chassis?
(getting silly now)

I know I've said this before, but...
...the best way for me to reduce the all-up weight of my car is for me to lose weight! 
Faffing around trying to save the odd kilo here or there is a waste of time until then.
Mind you, the all-up weight of my car (inc. a full tank of petrol) was 595Kg at the SVA, so I don't think that's too bad for a book car
with steel floor, tunnel sides & footwell fronts.
rgds,
David

Nice one david. I'm quite interested to hear weights, to get an idea for what ours might weigh. it's +4" with a v8 so will be a bit
heavier.. be nice if it was under 700.

We'll have to weigh a rivet after it's been popped so we don't include the stem and include the weight of the hole it's fitted
to in both sheet and tube,  well you started it. Blueshift have you read the first page ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
