how do you identify a luego chassis??
trying to work out what my chassis is....
any ideas on how to work it out???
just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....
u2u me for details

if I was in a silly mood I would say, to identify the chassis, its the big metal bit made up of tubes.
Does that help?

That the same as my live axle luego chassis except for them rear top tube supports. Mine are wider apart. virtually the same as the book.

I compared the front of my chassis with a westfield and they look very very similiar if not the same.

Triton on here used to run Triton Motorsport, they were based around the Northampton area and used to make chassis based on the book locost. They had
no connection with Luego as far as I'm aware, but at one point they were involved with Darren George (GTS) but I don't think that worked
out for them.

There are differences in all 3 chassis backends pictured - your (OP) chassis looks most like the last lot (of pics)though...

Rear of a Luego has the seat belt mountings on the horizontal part of the Roll Bar. ie Seat belt mountings are directly in line with the holes in the
seats and are an integral part of the bar.
Your chassis has them mounted on the top rail of the chassis, and is not a Luego Chassis (IMHO). See all 3 Luego Models below. All have the same seat
belt fixing method for the top fixings.
Thanks to Piddy (for the pic)... its his car, but all Luegos are the same in this area.
Its a Luego Velocity:

This is Rusty's Luego Locost:

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Look at your top seat belt mounting points, as Geoff points out the Velocity, Locost and Viento chassis's all had them mounted on a separate bar
at the correct height . I haven't seen a live axle'd Luego Locost , it may be a very early chassis. Wait until the powder coating falls
off, that will tell you if it's a Luego chassis

the seat belt mounts are vertically on the top horizontal rail of the chasssis, perfectly matching with the belt slots in the Cobra seats.
as you see the chassis is from 2001 and still like new (ok..it was only used for a few hundred of miles)
