jaserules Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have some subframes for a project im building and ive decided to see if I can get it road legal through the lvvta , I am wanting someone who may be interested in drawing up the frame and suspension components so I can present to the board . I am not sure where you would go for this currently but thought I would try here . if anyone has any ideas or wants to have a look and come up with a price that would be great . I can give lots of photos and measurements to anyone else nationally that may want to take it on if need be Any help or info appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I've been working on a similar project with my anglia and want to get into this kind of thing as a hobby-business so I could be your man. I'll fire you a PM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I too would be keen to help out if possible but don't want to step on anglia's toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I've just done this for a friend. Is a bit of a pain in the arse getting it approved. They don't want it to be used as a one-off approval for each person but more for companies making kits for cars/bringing stuff in for popular models. Talk to your friendly certifier. There are different levels of certifiers too so make sure you find out who does scratch builds in your area and talk to them. I'll find the requirements for the drawings and out some pics up. They can be drawn on paper (don't need to be CAD necessary but does make it nicer) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyscar Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Took me about 16-20hrs to draw up tubular front end and A arms etc. It certainly isn't an easy task.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Have to the same thing myself, will probably get my son to help. Need to disassemble the project somewhat to get dimensions though /garageornament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 My toes are tough. Doesn't bother me if you want to check it out too NickJ I've done so many parts now from scratch i'm keen to go the other way around, also a chance to check out this side of the cert process Do they require any calculations to back up material choice/ justify geometry?

Rhyscar Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah they require material details and thickness reports along with engineers reports for anything not made out of the suggested material sizes. Also they require a as-installed bumpsteer report from wheel alignment machine through full travel. Can't have anymore than 10mm total bump over the travel of the shock. Also needs to detail steering rack dimensions and position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
