I'll get some in the morning.

Mine are basically two right angle triangles with the column mounted to the back.

Chris, 1804 shots at the moment - and it still needs painting and SVAing

I've got a few, but not that many. Mind you, I haven't finished the chassis yet.

I must say Mr. Allanson, that is a mighty fine looking chassis you have made there. I do like the column support especially. Does that structure above the drivers feet hold the master cylinders and pedal box? I can't quite make it out from the picture.

Cheers,

Andy

And i'm sure that silver grill stuff will have sharp edges - maybe some U trim will be the way forward?

It doesn't have to pass SVA it's a race car

Thank you very much Sir,

Yes, the structure holds the complete sierra pedal box with the servo removed, the clutch pedal moved 1/2" closer to the brake - It works well, a load of black lines all over our industrial estate to prove it

That does look like one hell of a well engineered chassis Mark.Not going to mount a fifteen pounder on it are you.
Cheers,
Bob

I know she is a bit heavy in places(57Kg without the floor), but I prefer that reassurance, and it will probably give a nicer ride
