Lets just use the Kit Car industry std (none pressure) sand cast aluminum Material in comparison to Billet.
Cast LM25-M has a Tensile strength of 130 to 150 (N/mm2) (19,000 - 22,000 PSI)
Billet 6061 T6 has a Tensile strength of 290 to 310 (N/mm2) (42,000 - 45,000 PSI)
So lets just say the material alone has twice the strength, so as long as it's comparable in size and dimensions then there's a good safety factor there on it's own. That along with Cad based stress analysis
lets me sleep easy at night
Happy Holidays to all BTW....

Excellent stuff. Keep it coming. Best thread on PH..Cast LM25-M has a Tensile strength of 130 to 150 (N/mm2) (19,000 - 22,000 PSI)

Clive, there is a picture in Practical Performance Car (PPC) this month of a chassis with a Jag V12 fitted at the Birmingham Classic Car show with a caption suggesting it's a Jaguar Le Mans car replica...
I can't find any further details but there also looks like there is XJR-9 bodywork in the background, so I am guessing it is a Group C rep and uses some of the same ideas you have!
Would be great to see yours and that side-by-side!
Merry Christmas to you and yours and I look forward to more updates in the New Year!
