Although if you're building a +442, it should be pretty easy to extrapolate the measurements from Keith's locost.William Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552990931199198664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386431760460291287.post-54357458604507651412008-05-10T01:23:00.000-04:002008-05-10T01:23:00.000-04:00I'm curious why you didn't list McSorley specs in ...I'm curious why you didn't list McSorley specs in the comparo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386431760460291287.post-26841235226371490642008-04-14T17:03:00.000-04:002008-04-14T17:03:00.000-04:00Your comparison table makes interesting reading, a...Your comparison table makes interesting reading, a question that springs to mind is why did Chris make his chassis so long? Is it to accommodate long people, long engine, IRS, something else? He regularly posts on Locostbuilders.co.uk so not hard to ask him.<BR/><BR/>My favourite 7 clone is the Donkervoort, its a little longer than Locost or a Caterham with longer overhangs.
