Construction of the Tressel
Tressel
At last I have gotten round to building a tressel to put the chassis on. I have gone for a fairly straight forward box design. This is similar to the type used by Tiger and other manufacturers alike, only in wood not metal. Constructed from bog standard pine from homebase I hope it will be strong enough to hold the car whilst it is panelled etc, until the engine is fitted. I have fitted extra bracing in, and with the chassis on top it it fairly rigid, although there is a bit too much lateral motion, hopefully this won't be an issue. I may be able to correct this with some wire brace. The whole thing probably cost about £25 to make, this is a bit pricey for wood, but then again I didn't go to a wholesaler.
