Aluminium AC Cobra Chassis

A curiosity question from one that know's little on the science but isn't the suspension operation a variable you can't factor for, hence why a chassis's twist is measured?

Can understand the leverage starting at the wheels but you have a moveable linkage to the chassis to allow for, so can you really measure at the hubs with fixed suspension and replicate actual twist reality?

I'm keen for a little enlightenment.

G’day all, new to this forum and looking for some help.
Did anyone find out who was building the Alloy chassis in these pics? I would like to get in contact with them as im wanting to get one built.

Thanks in advance
Dan.

Dan, that chassis is manufactured by BDM (ByDesign Motorsports). Gary Hall runs the show and is a great guy.

We also manufacture aluminium chassis units for our kits, but take a totally different approach to BDM on our Cobra replica chassis.

So plenty of variety on offer.

Hi Craig thanks for your input, I also have looked at you design, and am very impressed. I also find it refreshing to hear your comments about your opposition as I work in an industry where people aren’t so kind toward one another.
Can anyone tell me if the alloy bodies are available in Australia? Im not a huge fan of fiberglass as I work with aluminium for a living.

Cheers Dan.
