T350 bodyshell construction
Discussion
Gentlemen, here is the definitive answer to the current argument about whther T350 bodyshells are different to upgraded shells for the high performance version.
The answer comes from Lee J. Hodgetts, who I'm sure you are aware is the designer of the Tamora and I have spoken to him this morning, at the factory.
The standard T350 is made from chopped strand mat and polyester resin, whilst the upgraded T350, with Tuscan S brakes, chip and large bore exhaust etc., uses a different construction method, using woven mat and vinylester esin. The bodyshell is constructed slightly differently, and takes a lot longer to make.
The weight saving on the bodyshell is about 40Kg, and with doors, bonnet etc. gives a total weight saving of about 50Kg!
I hope this clears the air!
