Chassis Progress 12/09

Since the last update, the chassis has been completed, with only small mounts left to be added. The finished chassis came together just after Christmas, then suspension and engine mounts were added. The complete frame weighed in at 30kg, with mounts, an decrease of 8kg over last year.
The process of welding the chassis continued, with a number of different jigs being used:

With the frame complete, the suspension mounts had to be added. These were set at angles specified by the suspension team and welded to the frame.

And then engine mounts.

The next stage for us is to paint the chassis once the final mounting points are on, and then assemble the car

Sorry for the lack of updates

Hi to everyone keeping up with the progress of the team.

The progress of the project is currently good and the car is progressing nicely towards its completion. Updates and physical progress on the car for the last week have been slow however as the team write their dissertations on the project, but very soon it will be full steam ahead as we make the push to get the car completed and on the track for testing!

Over and out for now, I've still got a few thousand words to write...
