Jeff Bynum Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Frank's original chassis was constructed in 1989. He had a new one built in 1994 after a racing accident with I believe he said a Mustang. I'm not sure about the steering shaft but will take some photos for posting. I know he had a front spindle failure in one race and had new front spindles made to accommodate bigger slotted disks and Elwood calipers. The track of the car is materially wider than normal at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Dennis mentioned the availability of custom uprights. He said they cost roughly about $600. I'd love to see pictures of those too, if you get the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Another reread of the old Rotus literature put the number at "44 thus far" ... which I think was in the late '80s // early '90s. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I believe Frank told me that the steering shaft came loose at the collapsable portion that was held with a set screw. He had it welded to prevent that again. Mine has been tack welded. Mazda: Do you know about this unique feature of the Rotus? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
