Default Drawings

Welcome 120mm!

I built a handful of chassis based on the Cobra Restorers drawings. They are actually not that bad. I did improve on a few measurements, based on a CSX 4000 chassis which I measured here in South Africa. I can't recall the changes because I built the last one years ago. The scuttle hoop is critical.

Mickmate build a usable chassis from CR prints and might be able to assist.

There are plenty of modern adaptions around, and it's a matter of preference I suppose.
I drew up a chassis from a SA built version, done by a local race car builder, whose car handled extremely well. I managed the same lap times with a 302 and 290hp as the local 300+ hp 911s.

What I mean is, plenty of chassis that behave 90% well if the suspension is thought through nicely. The other 10% I leave to the professionals :-)
