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

The team had a great day at ExxonMobil on Friday 1st May. The level of interest was very high and we'd like to thank everyone who pledged to support the team and our charity, Help for Heroes. The site will be updated very soon with the photos from the day so keep an eye out for it!

We raised approximately £200 for charity which was a superb effort.
