Strictlyperson,

Thanks for your thoughts, the Lotus is a nice little setup they perform real well even by todays standards!

Been giving it a big think, and if I move the main chassis rails inwards from firewall/baulkhead rearward, widen the glass transmission tunnel an inch of two mainly in the back half of it, then I can fabricate a tube frame much like the Cobra Coupe, this will be no problem tying in to the rear suspension pickup, but it will require carefull location of tube to almost the front cross member, once I know where things are going.

I realize moving the main rails in will reduce stiffness etc but the backbone frame should hopefully make it markedly better!

Looking on the forum cars like Richard Hudgins JBL would be great for the track, and they look extremely well engineered, but officials would shudder here unless you ran the car in a real modified class, which it is compared to my jigger!
