As Paul says, we're using a 3mm thick 6082 aluminium chassis with 3mm carbon fibre side braces that sit on the chassis and run from under the bulkhead posts to the rear of the car. This has worked the best for Paul, with no signs of bending. If people want to stiffen it up further we will be offering a kit with an additional 4 stand-off posts so the side plates can be raised up 12mm and add further stiffness. We're currently getting some pre-production kits produced for a number of drivers to run to make sure this gives the right balance between performance and durability.
We've also tested a carbon chassis - but that didn't perform as well as the aluminium version. We also had a 5000 series aluminium chassis, but that bends too easily. We're putting a lot of effort into making sure that the final product is not only fast, but also durable without having to buy additional parts or modify it.
We're just working to finalise the price at the moment. Providing we don't need to change anything from the pre-production kits then the current specification and price won't change. We'll post something up in the next couple of days when we've finished putting the parts list together - so you can see what is included in the kit.
