JensenA off here had some chassis available on an exchange basis at one stage.
Not sure if he still has or not but it may be worth sending him an e-mail.
I did have one, but I was ripped off by Tower View Race services, and when I came to use it I discovered it was twisted!! Personally I would reccomend having your existing chassis refurbished. Not sure if he still has or not but it may be worth sending him an e-mail.
Douglas Valley usually have them, although they've tended to be expensive when I've enquired about parts.
IF you're after a new one it might be worth talking to Sportmotive who do Griffth/Chimaera replacements.

Call Danny at Edmondson Engineering was the factory welder/fabricator for the Tuscan Challenge cars , and still at bristol Ave.
Tel : 07870533370
What he said ^Tel : 07870533370
As i know for a fact he has a jig for doing the chassis hence why i mentioned them before. Danny actually sounds like he knows what he's talking about also !
OK, thanks for the number for Danny I have some news
He is prepared to tool up to make brand new cerbera chassis's to a very high specification, to make it worth his while to do so I need at least two other people to place an order with me.
I have some more details and some pictures of his work if anyone wants to explore this further please PM me
Q) Would you provide a warranty for your chassis?
A) I would offer a Certificate of Conformity as opposed to warranty for the finished chassis as the chassis may be used for competition purposes and as these are bespoke items and I am not a major manufacturer able to offer extensive warranty. I can offer the following as assurnce, that I have 24 years experience as a welder with 14 years producing Tuscan Challenge chassis for TVR and the Challenge series. A number of the units having been involved in substantial impacts with track furniture or other competing vehicles, withstanding the impact without serious injury to the occupants and the chassis being repairable. That said the CoC for the chassis would include reference to full penetration 3 phase MIG welded steel units produced using either CFS 3BK tube for race or ERW tube for road applications, both to BS1287 and BS4872. Laser cut plate from CR4 mild steel. All through or threaded bushes from EN8. Chassis assembled and welded in dedicated production jigs. Therefore to all intent and purpose a materials warranty as fit for purpose other than competition.
Q What treatment process would you perform
A I would have either chassis chemically dipped, shot blasted and powder coated (colour to customer choice). The coated chassis would come with a 12 month corrosion warranty.
Q What you be an indicative price?
A Ball park price at present £4200 per unit inc VAT.
Q What timeline are we looking at?
A Timeline as discussed 10/12 wks from receipt of deposit.
Q What deposit do you need?
A Deposit of £1500 each (three confirmed orders required in order to proceed to jig production).
