Removing A Chassis Tube

[steve_wilson]

hi all

 

i'm doing the finishing touches to my 2b after a wishbone conversion and was after some second opinions on wether it'd be ok to chop a chassis tube out

 

 

you see on the right hand side of the picture there is the tube that runs across the chassis right at the front.

 

now that the car has two extra bits of box section holding the front together would it be ok to remove this original tube?

 

 

I only ask as i'm fitting a bigger radiator, intercooler and oil cooler so I need the space really!

 

thoughts?

 

cheers, steve

Steve is that the GBS conversion kit you have used if so does it include the box section as part of the kit.

hi andy

 

I bought the gbs wishbone conversion kit, but remade the brackets out of box section.

 

looks a little nicer in my opinion and should be a good bit stronger
