Few more bits to be added.

Not been easy with the workshop move and all the building work going on.

Nice!! It looks like we have a very similar space frame structure!!

We are moving build room too... A few things are not quite ready yet, what a nightmare!!

[James Morris]

The Front Bulkhead must be supported back to the Front Roll Hoop by a minimum
of three (3) Frame Members on each side of the vehicle with one at the top (within
50.8 mm (2 inches) of its top-most surface), one (1) at the bottom, and one (1) as a
diagonal brace to provide triangulation.

The triangulation must be node-to-node, with triangles being formed by the Front
Bulkhead, the diagonal and one of the other two required Front Bulkhead Support
Frame Members.

I understand this rule as there has to be at least a diagonal brace running node to node from the lower frame member bulkhead joint to within 2in of the top of the front roll hoop. Or visa versa.

I might be wrong though, but we got pulled up on this at last years comp.

chassis!


That will be 3 of us with simular chassis then!
The front is finished now,(missing a few bars in this pic) i'll put a picture up when i get back to uni.
Also were be moving rooms after crimbo to a room just behind this pic, but hey ours has a sea view!

I believe the rules committee is okay with it if it is well triangulated. Last year, there was a xls file from them showing about 30 cases that would or would not work.

as spaceframes go I think they are all very distinguishable.
