VSusp is also useful. Or just make a few sketches in solidworks or inventor and constrain them together.

Göran Malmberg, www.hemipanter.se I think his book is available through speedlab. Even after studying a bit it is difficult to conclude on anything. There are some rules of thumb but other than that it is a matter of doing the most suitable trade offs.

What information are you looking for? One issue when discussing suspension geometry is that there are alot of different opinions and philisophies regarding how it is put together. At the end of the day a car is a result of a large number of trade offs, one just have to choose what to prioritize.

But the print for the front bobbins states that they are to be threaded 5/16UNF, are they threaded into the bobbin and then brazed ?

I used the view you posted above to measure, i can forward them if you'd like

I think i have some numbers from Malmberg also. Might be worth to have a look at the speedlab corvette build also, i seem to recall that they did some testing on that chassis.

Long time since i did some FEA work and never tried this approach; Are you able to determine the required torque to twist the chassis 1 degree? Leave one of the springmounts floating, ground one and constrain the last two against vertical movement.

Depends what you are after. Probably easier to build the cable shifter but it will never give you the same feel as you will get with the linkage shifter.

But what about those who want to build a spaceframe and not a monocoque? Shouldn't they alse have access to some prints as a start?

I have all these spaceframe drawings which have been floating around here and there. Should I upload them to grabcad? I saw some snitch trying to sell them on ebay aswell.

I would probably use something in the 5000 series. It will then have decent mechanical properties and still retaining the ductility in case of deformation. 6 or 7000 series starts to become more brittle and prone to cracking in my experience

Problem is what is correct and what is not, makes little sense to make a good model of a 5th copy replica body. I have a decent body model with the 68 lemans width (2" pr side?)

I think you can buy all this data at the bremar scan store. Not expensive

The x40 prints are on the Lola numbering scheme, uncertain if it is gt40 prototype or gt6 origin. XL i am pretty sure are road car bits. If someone knows anything about the prefix it would be interesting to know.

I have a transmission for sale if anyone is interested (i have also offered it to the OP). I have a box out of a R8, originally a r tronic but i have removed the hydraulics so one have to make the linkage for the twist and pull/push action on the shaft. I am asking 2800 usd with todays...
