Need a space frame made
Discussion
Can anyone recommend a company that can manufacture a one-off tubular steel space frame chassis?
Ideally in / near Yorkshire, but nationwide is fine too.
Have a 3D model of the frame created in SolidWorks, so just need the tube bending / cutting to match and potentially jigging and welding.
Cheers

You'll almost certainly find that CNC tube bending/cutting will cost more than doing it the old-fashioned way, for a one-off: the time involved in programming the CNC dimensions will outweigh the the speed savings on the cutting itself, versus doing it by hand. Man up, and buy yourself a hacksaw and a bd file.
If you still want to do it CNC (greater accuracy, admittedly) and really just want the tube cutting/bending, then try Cager Laser Engineering or similar companies (Google: laser tube cutting).
If you wanted the whole chassis fabricating, including welding then I'd personally recommend Loaded Gunn Racing in Wiltshire, but there is OMS Racing in Yorkshire who I know will take on such work.

They might be able to do something for you. They do a lot of one-off work

Andy Robinson Race Cars are more than capable of doing this for you.
If you're looking to race it they can also construct and certify to the appropriate FIA standards.
