Honestly, for outriggers on these it's not required. If you can offer it up easily it's best to fit it to the body. I used to work to +/- 2mm when TVR seemed to vary by +/- 2cm from factory
Really efficient work - you made it look easy! Good facilities must help though. How was the car to drive after you finished? Did it align ok? Do you still have the car?
@@neilmchardy9061 that would entail drilling holes in a structure that is otherwise air tight. Introducing a path for moisture is a very quick way to ensure the structure is compromised, even with waxoil (it'll never get absolutely everywhere). The original design lasts for 15-20 years, with no waxoil in the tubes. I use much superior seamless tubing too (they always rust on the seams first)
You work a little faster than most. If I bring mine along next tuesday, you can do it while I run some errands.
As a retired mechanic/welder I can appreciate all the work that’s gone into this job …..well done 👏🏻👏🏻
That's very kind of you to say, thank you
Gotta love tubular framework in cars/racing chassis style 🙏
Marvelous job!!!
Good work, i used a jig/guide on mine for lining it all up

Good video, thanks for posting.

This was for a customer in my old workshop. Alignment was perfect as I positioned the chassis mounts with the body in place.
When the time comes could you rebuild my Tuscan in 20 mins please. Great job btw. :)
Unfortunately not my line of work anymore, but thanks!
Did I see you using slip pieces for joining the tubes? It all happens so quick
You did. I used 3mm wall tubes inside the 2mm cds. Makes it much stronger and easier to weld up.
@@Howatengineering I hope you injected the whole structure with wa oil or similar,

@@Howatengineering point taken
I really enjoyed this series of videos. Could you please let us know roughly how many hours it took all up?
It works out somewhere In the region of 100 hours.
No woman could ever do.
I don't know about that. I've met some brilliant female mechanics and fabricators.
@@Howatengineering. Show me the proof. Lol
@@andyb8501lol. Tell me you're inadequate and threatened by women without telling me that, you probably couldn't even make a sandwich fella
