Default Chassis Wish List

Hi all,

Just a quick one. Anyone know what metals and qtys are needed to build chassis. Looking to get supplies but the qtys always seem diff when I calculate. Anyone have a pre written wish list that they have used.


Many thanks

James

i've got it down to 4 lengths of 25x25 and 2 lengths of 20x20 and i have tiny ammounts left over, I later realised when making the front frame there is an ammendment with the lengths of FF2 and FF3 they are 259.5 i think and the book says less.

Default This any good?...

James,

I have a spreadsheet that might be of help to you.

Have a look here:

In this thread:

Let me know if you want a copy.

EDIT: I can't remember if the costs on the snippet are those I paid. Seems mighty expensive. However, I do remember the steel costing alot more than I anticipated. Steel isn't cheap and it has more than doubled in price over the last few years.
