RESTORING a 50s Seven 750 SPECIAL
#20
The subframe is definitely shaped so it could tie to a side of the chassis member. But if it were, the suspension mounts would be lower than the upper deck height...
My personal lockdown is being lightened up by my new weight-saving list.
front and rear plates 400g
bolts found in undertray 10g
unused brackets 40g
paint scraped off two panels (say 10g)
I do also keep eyeing up the (heavy) 6V battery and thinking that I could construct a small room for overnight stays in its present space....

Was amused on hearing a story about Colin Chapman making cost savings for the Seven s2, Renaud. Apparently he just kept chopping frame elements out a sturdy S1 until it eventually collapsed... and then added the previous one back in. I presume that's probably an urban myth.
