Chassis
Ian Mackie Body Off Print
I didnt plan to take the chassis out of my Griffith, it just sort of happened!!!  I bought my car in April 2006 I wanted a Cooper green 500 with a Magnolia interior. I also wanted an early registered car (cheaper classic insurance as iam a youngster......Ahem!!)  with a serp and T5!!! Not much to ask!! I found my car 'Grief' in Norfolk through Pistonheads. Good history, Doeskin interior (close enough) recent brake/suspension overhaul and new tyres BUT with couple of marks on the body and a misfire at the top end.

Iain Jones of Chassis 33 Motorsport has kindley shared this information with us, even though it is from his Chimeara they share the same chassis so should be the same. Also may I take this oppertunity to wish Iain Good Luck for the 2006 Racing season

One thing worth noting the torques only apply to the UNF threads, if a bolt with a UNC is used the torque will have to vary to get the same stretch on the bolt to ensure there is sufficient load on the thread so the nut doesn't come undone.
