If you are not doing a chassis extension as per this kit. You can make your own plates and bolts or as i have done move the rear mount back and use longer shackles.

I will have a look. should have the pics around here somewhere.

cheers

Check out Big Steve's steering wheel setup - it has a 100mm (i'm guessing) spacer under it to get it further away from the pedals - this means more leg room... :cool:
my early vit wheel sits about 50mm or so back from a stock 1lt wheel too.
im not tall, but the standard driving position seems a bit italian ape-ish to me. a few judicious whacks with the persuasion tool on the clutch pedal gave me room to rest my left foot also. all i need now is a console..

What sort of steel have people used to do the chasi extension?
Have you guys cut the chasi at angles to weld on the extra bit or just straight?
Is the chasi extension just butted up to the chasi or is it sleeved over?
Do you need to run a pipe between the extension pieces like the factory one (I have seen Dewses is like this)?

i think mild steel is the best option as it bends before it cracks... probably an advantage, especially on the front end!

all the extensions ive seen are a box tube welded to the end of the chassis, forming an extra, final rail at the front - the width of the box determines the extension. should be plenty strong, however if you were fussy i spose it wouldnt be too hard to reinforce with angled bits and the like.

check out Chopzuki's rig - theres a super clear shot of his extension in his buildup thread from memory...

I used mild steel. Welded straight then fish plated on a angle.

Hope this helps Paul
