All on the list: WOW!! Thanks a ton to all who replied to my call for help
on lakester frame design and fabrication techniques. I had wondered about
square tubing and know it would be a whole lot easier to work with than round
tubing. I havn't bought my material yet and am glad I didn't. I like the
idea of the 2X4 in. bottom rail and the 2X2 in. top rail. Glen, do you know
what size square tubing Mike Cook used for the cross members? I am about
ready to buy a cut off saw, and can hold off on some kind of notcher/tube saw
attachment if I go with the square tubing.
I don't see anything in the rule book that addresses the frame itself.
Nothing that I can see that precludes using square tubing. I'm not planning
to go super fast -- 200 would be a lifetime goal for me. I've read about
brazing being used to build race frames (which surprised me) and I may explore
this as well. Brazing looks soo nice.
To Chris Harris: my computer won't let me open your email I think because of
the attachment. Say's it may be a virus?? What were you trying to send me?
Again, you folks are the best. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I
progress down this road. It sure feels good to know that you are there.
