What do they mean when they say notched chassis Frankie

 

[ant]

It means a section is taken away from the chassis of a very lowered vehicle to allow for (in the case of a bay) trackrods up frt and drive shafts out back.

 

[ant]

just to give you an idea

Cheers mate learning all the time :mrgreen: Frankie

You chop a section out of the rear or front chassis ,so as you go lower your
drive shafts and tie rods dont foul the chassis

Oops sorry already answered

And you must have to brace in some way to compensate for the removed material Frankie.

Correct by competeing the box section again should suffice although not always, you need to look at exactly how your notching it, theres a great shot in one of the for sale threads of a full front notch on a bus that was being broken.... a lot of work and not one for the feint of heart.....

[Araon]
