Sports Car for Under 250 Pounds -
and Race It".

|
Type 2 Chassis
Type 1
chassis but with all tubing 25SHS and some additional
strengthening members added. This is typical of most Clubman
car chassis designs intended for 4 cylinder engines.
|
|
|
Type 3 Chassis
Type 2
chassis but with some tubing replaced with 50x25RHS in
higher load areas. This is a Clubman chassis design for 6 and
8
cylinder engines.

|
Type 4 Chassis
Type 2 chassis but with a revised rear structure to mount a
Mazda MX-5 rear sub-frame. In practice the MX-5 rear sub-frame
is a practical proposition but it should be permanently welded
into place.
|
|
|
Type 5 Chassis
Type 4
chassis but with a revised front structure to mount
Mazda MX-5 front wishbones. The changes caused a substantial
reduction in torsional stiffness and the visual appearance of
the
wishbones is poor.
|
|
|
Type 6 Chassis
Type 3 chassis but with a revised rear structure to mount a
Mazda MX-5 rear sub-frame. In practice the MX-5 rear sub-frame
is a practical proposition but it should be permanently welded
into place.
