I understand you have stressed no cutting of chassis rails but that is more about a seperate chassis'd view on the regulations like the Sammio range etc. The monocoque shell is considered to be a chassis in its entirety , so my understanding of the regs is the removal or modification of anything deemed structural relating to that shell is classed as a chassis modification ?
Please correct me if I am wrong or have missed the point here , not an expert by any means but just my interpretation of what I believe is the regulations regarding monocoques .
Elprimer, thanx for your imput, I thought that the mX5 backbone bit that joins the gear box an d engine was classed as a chassis like in the MeV cars, but now see they need IVAing. A mate of mine has pointd me at the DVLA 8point thing and you are right when you say-about not cutting the bodyshell. Back to my herald chassis I think.
