Just wondering how you made sure that the chassis is not tweaked or twisted? Can you compensate for a little twist by using corner weight scales?
Dont dream it, do it.

Left and right side driving explained here:
Hold the phone, I was pretty sure China drove on the left, isn't that and India why more people in the world actually driver on the proper British side? ;)

Most ex-british colonies drive on the left.

Still largely tack welded at the moment. It will be clamped down and welded symetrically to avoid warping. That's to say I'll weld the same piece in turn on each side. Time consuming yes but should also give a better chassis overall.

Japanese also drive on the left, while the French and Italians don't care if there is a space they will take it left of right :shock:

Most space frames have a little movement, but because they are steel they can be tweeked or bent back into true. I remember watching a film of an Italian super car workshop as they adjusted a finished space frame chassis :shock:
