Chassis shortening

[John Bonnett]

I am basing my special on a six foot three chassis but the one I have is six foot nine so it needs to be shortened. If anyone else has successfully done this, I would be very pleased to hear from them. There may be other problems but the one that has struck me straightaway, is the spring mounting on the axle which is the wide track to suit the longer wheelbase. It is a D type axle which I want to use. Once the chassis is shortened, the axle mounts will be too far outboard and will need modifying.

Any help and advice gratefully received. Thank you.
