2B & 2B+

[Guest paisesmediterraneos]

Excuse me , may be it's and obvious thing, but I am novice about kitcars and I have not many information in Spain.

Which is the difference between the 2B and 2B+??, only to know which one I have.

 

Regards, David.

was way it was sold, 2b was sliding pillar, , then wishbone and if you went for stainless chassi, what you want is a 2b with wihbone front,

 

sliding pillar ok, but far better with proper wishbones, when fitted with shock form the likes of gaz, or any proper shocker not the green zimmerides,

So my 2B is with wishbone chassis, the wishbones pivot in the end of box channel sections, is it a 2B+??

If you can post a picture of the front end, I'm sure others will be able to tell you for certain what you have got.

 

Unfortunately, mine is a Zero so completely different.

This is the photo of the wishbones of my car, so you can tell me better if mine is a 2B or 2B+.

Looks like a 2B plus to me.

the plus was i think the stainless chassi option with wishbones only, ms chassi was both wish bones and sliding pillar , there were probably other items which were in it too,

 

cant remeber without digging sales book

 

 

looking at your pic its a 2b with wishbones , but is it stainless chassi and panels ??

The wishbones are stainless, the panels are stainless, the chassis of the car is black painted, so I don't know.

what rear suspension does it have?

[Guest peter2b2002]

just found my original robin hood sale order book, it sayes the 2B+ is similar to the 2B/4 which had sliding pillar front suspension where as the 2B+ had double wishbone front suspension, in addition the 2B+ , the name comes from 1 kit+ 1 donor = 1 car , the full kit with s/s chassis and panels, wheels, lights , exhaust and more

at this time 2002 the 2B/4 was £1295, the 2B+ was £3000, and the super spec was £6000, there was also the light weight @ £995 all +vat

those were the days

the 2b+ has a stainless chassis, scrape a bit of black of, chances are its mild steel there for its a 2b or have a look around the welded joints for sings of rust where it has been wet

[Guest arf!!]

from what i see of your car its is a 2b mild steel, why go to the trouble of getting the wishbones done in stainless and then go and paint the chassie black?? (is it paint or powder coated)

i would guess it is a mild steel chassis as i think the later stainless ones had a return on the headlight mounting plates. I.E there was a 1/2inch lip at the front edge rather than having to have edge trim which it looks like yours has. (same as mine). But i could be wrong on that.

 

I think it was a bit confusing as i have a 2b with optional wishbones but i don't think it was called the 2b plus at the time it was just an option, as were stainless panels.

 

The later 2b's also had a different engine bay to take the ford dohc engine and has tubes that go more around the engine bay and the pedal mount area is part of the chassis i think.

 

Its definitely not a 2b/4 as the suspension is different on the front end.

The 2B + does not have to be a stainless steel chassis. The Plus was an upgrade to the "basic" 2B kit. It included all sorts of bits, steering rack, ights etc.

Mine is a 2B plus with mild steel chassis and bodywork.....I paid the extra for the "plus kit".. in 2001.

By the way ---wasn't yellow GRP for the super spec?, dont remember it being offered when I picked my kit..

[Guest mark kingston]

the 2b sliding pillar was available with the stainless chassis as an extra (i know as mine is stainless which i brought direct from robinhood back when the 2B was launched) another option was the stainless body panels. sadly back then wishbones where not offered.

ans back then you got full fibreglass rear wheel arches similar to privious models and not just the fibreglass outer edge as offered later.
