I'd love to see the BOM's for the vehicles you have previously designed. Please post a link to download them, or post them in-line to the community. regarding the uprights, does someone have a finished upright design that suits this project? I've been away for a while but last I saw there weren't any detailed suspension blueprints, although I'd like to see those too.

Hello all,

Last time I spoke (wrote) I mentioned an upright that would cost us less
than $200 per corner.  This e-mail is in furtherance of that description.

This is the upright I'm using on my Levensfere project; it's made from 1/4"
steel plate and pre-cut into the appropriate shape.  Of course, since
Levensfere is a little heavier than the car we're designing here, the
material wouldn't have to be 1/4" thick.  The components are purchased and
welded by the purchaser/builder or they could be done by a third party.  I
know a fabricator who would give us a good price if we gave him the
business.  Anyway, the materials for each upright would cost less than $100
and we are looking at $40/hour to weld them.  This would take less than one
hour to weld, so we're looking at $140 for a finished upright.

If someone has designed the geometry already, I'd be more than happy to
design the components of the uprights and submit them for the group's
approval.

Also, I have seen that we are getting together a parts list or, as we called
it at Elan, a BOM (bill of materials).  If there's interest, I don't mind
submitting for group use the vehicle parts list template used for every car
I've designed and we could customize it together.

Let me know what the group wants to do.

The group has been a little dead over the winter. I have ideas but I'm
not a designer. I can tell you that I'm all for the K.I.S.S.
priniciple.

I'll be happy to add any information you have to the website at
