anyone fancy a chassis thread

[rocket_rabbit]

I saw those pictures and SOLed (Swore out loud)!

Just as a quick pointer for me if you could, I asked you whether my chassis was bent at all due to the caster issue.

You did (very kindly) offer to check it over (although you said it was probably the uprights).  Are there are datum points I can measure from to the uppper/lower front arm lugs in order too see myself, or is the only way to strip and jig?

you can usually tell just by looking at it tbh and a measure in a few places ,though with bodywork on and engine in it makes it more difficult

Another one keen to see this thread, interested to see which rails are replaced / straitghened, seen a few bent chassis over the years some repairable some to far to even think of a repair but willl be good to see one professionally brought back to life. (also know another one to receieve your magic touch)

I hope you're better at straightening chassis than radio aerials
