vehicle chassis manufacture
(OP)
I want to build a production chassis for an on/off highway vehicle preferably using a c section rail as seen on trucks rather than a fabricated one. I want to use 6mm plate as weight is a benefit as well as rigidity. the chassis rails would be 2500mm long x 200mm deep with a 50mm return. any suggestion how I might do this or who can.





RE: vehicle chassis manufacture
200 deep is very deep for a 2500 long frame. The stiffness will be lousy compared with a box section.

I was going to direct you to MultiDrive in Thirsk, but they appear to be no more. Their website was http://www.multidrive.co.uk/. Disappointing.
The tractors seem to live on at http://www.multidrivetractors.co.uk/
