Got a pic of a bare IRS chassis?

I holed my tank within 1000 miles cuz of the wishbone mounting bolts.   I'd suggest a thin sheet of carbon fibre between the tank and any likely harpoons.

Still got mine bolted up the same way, and the cf works a treat.

Might be worth asking for some info from Birkin, I beleive that they are/have developed an IRS setup for there car which is a Lotus 7 chassis, same as a Caterham chasis more or less.

Birkin have done it. The car they have at the moment has a Quaife IRS diff unit which is really tasty but at £2500 a tad expensive. They have created a kindof subframe for the diff into which you can mount a Quaife unit, a Sierra unit or a Subaru unit. They have their own ali uprights and the wishbones are the same eliptical section as used on the fronts.

I don`t have any photos as I haven`t seen a bare chassis yet and as the fuel tank now sits above the diff it`s hard to get a good photo on a fully built car.
