Someone with a MFH 126C, a caliper and charity?

[JamesB]

and some compassion, patience, and the classical F1m helping spirit!
Yes, I am a bit naughty in terms of thinking crazy projects.
One of my Protar 126C2, could end up losing its "2" and becoming Didier´s ride at the Jarama...
Nah!! joking, it´ll be Gilles´for sure, much that I appreciate Pironi too
Crucial parts of this build will be a new body... and a new chassis!
Then, well, even if I think I can easily guess most of measures of the tub, considering the Fujimi, for instance, is clearly short, I´d like someone with a MFH tub at hand to pass me (and all the group, in the same solidarity act) the measures seen here.



The measures with letters, please.
Obviously the credit for the drawing is for great Giorgio Piola. As you can see on the full drawing, well known from 41 years ago...



And that was "guilty" of some thousands of us wanting to study mechanics or engineering
THANKS in advance!!!!

Just to help clarifying...
A: Full length of chassis minus front front deformable structure
B: length of the top of the fuel tank
C:length from just behind roll bar to ront of rockers supports
D:length of rest of “monocoque” (that is not!)
E:length of chassis from the projection of top edge to the roll bar:
surely, A is the sum of B,C,D,E!
F: width of rear top edge of fuel cell
G:same at front
H: width of tb from edge to edge. It´s supposed to be the same all along, I guess
J: width of lower part of chassis where the wishbones go.
K:width of rear bulkhead.
L: width of lower segment of rear bulkhead. Probably quite similar to J
M: length (not heigth) of that segment of chassis
N:heigth of that panel of chassis
O: same thing..
P: heigth of chassis edge to the ground.
Q: heigth of that panel at that level.. it should match N, I suppose
R: heigth to the ground of that chassis front

You mean the 1/20 Hybrid kit?
I can do it, but you'd have to wait probably until thursday or so.

[JamesB]

That’d be welcome

[JamesB]

That’d be welcome
Honestly I didn’t remember the 1/20 hybrid, but so, meant the 1:12.
Thought the only hybrid was the T4
Well whatever you can supply I’ll be grateful

[MarcoSaupe]

Argh, sorry, of course it's the T4, I totally mixed that up, was very tired yesterday...

Don´t worry!!! THanks!!! it´s intention what counts as we say here

OK, so I have the 126CK kit as discussed via messages the tub is slightly different than what you have pictured.
Some dimensions cannot be measured without full assembly of some parts which I won't do at this time.
Anyhow here are the dims that I was able to measure.

All Dims are in inches

A = 6.600
B = 2.078
C = ?
D = ?
E = 2.772
F = .710
G = 1.004
H = 1.920
I = Missing from your drawing.
J = 1.325
K = 1.920
L = 1.094
M = 1.490
N = .775
O = .572
P = 1.148
Q = .856
R = ?

I hope that help with your project JB. Good Luck!!!

[JamesB]

Thanks Derek! That´s great and will be helpful fr everyone.
Yes, apparently Piola simplified the design.
MAybe I´ll ask for a bit more

[JamesB]

MAybe I´ll ask for a bit more

Case those are of interest guys here they are.
X=.415, Y=1.180, Z=2.550.

X=10.6 Y=30.0 Z=64.8 in mm!
That good old Derek gave too
Thanks!
