Excellent, thanks, that now makes sense, I have 2 dismantled filler caps that have been re-chromed but are badly pitted and not really good enough, I also have two later style filler caps, with locks and key, but they are ugly!GORDON KEEBLE CH#30 ~ Chassis Refurbishment
Having spoken with the owner of CH#30 I am now able to put some pictures up of the chassis being refurbished... Firstly we needed to get the chassis up onto our flat race car building jig, this gives us a perfectly flat surface to work from as a reference.
As with all these hand built chassis's nothing is perfectly square as they do take a form and flex over the years... All those flex's and bow's have to be put back as to enable the body to slide back on nice and snug.
He follows some pictures of the chassis before we started...
Not meant to scare just a pictorial view of a chassis refurbishment...

Huntsman,
Funny we only mentioned the other day that it would be nice to build a brand new chassis, the only problem being you'd never find a body to fit as they all take a form over the years and fit very very snugly...
I see you in Southampton, not too far from my dads garage in NW London.
Will put some progress pictures up later in the week...
Regards Daryl
