The
custom galvanised chassis is fabricated in our own workshop and is
ready to accept a 2cv or Dyane bodyshell of your choice. The chassis
is constructed on a custom jig by coded welders and has been carefully
designed for strength to enable it to handle almost all conditions. (Click on image to see annimated stills of some component construction). |

Looking
the the rear of the chassis from underneath. Note the substantial
mountings for the seatbelts, the central &side chassis rails
and the aluminium petrol tank (which is pressure tested before fitment).
The chassis is of C section construction in 2.5mm steel. All chassis
are fully galvanised. Rear bump stops are pre-fabricated.

The view is of the RH side of the chassis. Note the modified spring canister, the spring having been uprated. Also note the modified mounting points of the shock absorbers to improve ground clearance. |
| A view of the front transfer box, its mountings and the coupling to the propshaft. The transfer box may be mated to any standard 2cv4 or 6 gearbox. |  |

A view from the front underside of the chassis showing the use of the 2cv 602cc engine and drivetrain mated to the Louis Barbour chassis and transmission kit. |
| Picture of Louis Barbour's specially developed rear differential assembly with sump guard in place. Note the use of rear discs and calipers to provide correct braking effort with ease of maintenance. |  |
 |
The propshaft passing through the specially fabricated rear axle tube to the rear differential. |
|
A view of the rear end, noting the rear diferential, driveshafts, and specially fabricated rear suspension arms. The greasable rear arms are welded on a specially made jig to ensure constant accuracy and correct camber. Front arms and bearings are also greasable. (Click on image to see annimated stills of rear arms and grease points). |

A view of the chassis top, showing the propshaft and central support bearing. The cable to the right of the propshaft is used to engage the rear differential as required. 0 |
