Dimensions

[Guest Paul Philpot]

Can anybody tell me the difference between a 2b and a 2b plus?

 

Also what are the dimensions?

 

Thanks

In 2004 when I bought my kit, the 2b had sliding pillars and mild steel chassis, where the 2b plus had wishbone front suspension and stainless chassis.

Upgrades were available of course, so you may find sliding pillars and stainless, etc.

Other years may be different.

Some had cobra style hoops for roll bars as well as above differences. Mine was a 2b+ one of the last 2b built by robinhood

With a 2b+ the whole suspension assembly pivots up and down (like an F1 car) and with the siding pillar the arms coming out of the car stay still whilst the hub "slides" up and down a shaft ...

Mines a sliding pillar and I looked at changing it but couldn't see the benefit in chopping and re welding the chassis when it works ok as it is... Just needs the shaft nipples greasing and checking bolts here and there....

 

Think the front on a 2b+ is slightly wider.... But not wider than the rear width

i got my 2b+ in 2002 wish bone front s/s panels but with mild steel chassis had the choice of cobra hoops or 1 piece rollbar also long wings or short mud guards

The " PLUS" was a package of bits RHE sold as extras in 2001.

I still have all the old documentation, included the brochures !

Nothing to do with mild steel or stainless.

Just an additional cost load of extras RHE made available -- I bought them and called my "2B Project" a 2B plus to the DVLA.
