Measuring Up The Chassis

Very, very detailed measurements have been taken of the chassis. Datum points have been marked onto the floor to give us the centre points of all the important parts such as outriggers, rear chassis cross member, etc. Whilst this process was VERY time consuming and slow, it makes re-assembly very easy because we know exactly where each piece should go:


Picture below shows the two central datum points on the chassis - this is where the two halves of the chassis rails join together




The angled pen line on the photo below is where we will cut the chassis - everything forward of this point will be replaced with new parts.
