Dax Torsion test
Hi folks,
I'm busy building a Dax De-Dion in WA and they require the results of a torsion test on the de-dion chassis. If anyone has done this test on the Dax de-dion please can I ask you to get in contact with me? Thanks Pete |

My 2c, I wouldn't shy away from building your own rig. I did it using some scrap steel lying around. It's a very simple test. If you want some details I'm happy to PM you on your email, as I'll make some drawings. Sevenohms |

Hi sevenohms, you have a PM.
Hi Sam, I've already been in touch with Dave, he's given me a lead which I'm also chasing. I've been in touch with Dax also, I would have though they'd have the results of any UK required test on their chassis, but no joy from them either. As yet I haven't heard of anyone who's done this test on the de-dion chassis. Thanks Pete |

Suggest that you Google and there should be enough information as to the Torsional Beam Test Procedure or else these Professional Mechanical Engineers charge around $1200 plus for this test.
I have spoken to some Cobra Builders and they are going the same road in respect to this procedure like youself. For example one guy has welded up a Venom Motorsport chassis and the other has a SA replica chassis which was aquired on Ebay this year. |
There is a guy presumably from Albany WA who had a torsion test rig that he used for doing cobra's etc, think he goes under -albanycobra- IIRC on here or GT40's, Daves his first name, has had both coupes & Gt40's of his own in the past..

JacMac. You are referring to Albany Cobra as I did purchase a set of BRM Wheels previously fitted to his RF GT40
A interesting finding! |
RMC cobras in Perth have a chassis test rig in their workshop, dont know if that helps.

The test rig is actually run by Terry Southam from Southam Auto Engineering - Southam Automotive Engineering
