Early TQ10 build (Chassis for now)

[kink]

Yes I knew the Horizon part. So I guess that is a solid reason for no logo as it is. I guess as it was lighter AE had no choice but to copy it. So that kind of started the trend. But I still like to see a metal nose just because I like my rose tinted shades

i was thinking about it on the ride home, and i kinda remember noony saying (years ago) that the short arm tq10 he bought new had a fully countersunk chassis. so i searched to confirm it and found his post about it.

so a fully countersunk chassis can go either way, short or wide front. just depends on what you want. there's definitely more short arm cars out there though.

Interesting. So a short arm would have trailing axles, but how about a long arm? In line axles?

BTW sorry for the technical interruption reg.

[scr8p]

yup. widetrack arms, inline axles.

when you figure out what route you want to go with yours (short or wide), hit me up for that 4 hole tower if you need it.

Here is a pic of the early and late TQ10's.

The "early" short arm has the countersunk chassis with a gold motor plate.

The "late" long arm has less countersunk chassis with a black motor plate.

your backwards, I promise

This is how these were built in 1989. I raced the short arm and my brother raced the long arm, both with bushings.

Take a look at the chassis you have installed on the long arm car, just after the kick-up you can see where the chassis had been partially milled, then removed and re-jigged (nose is cut perpendicular to the chassis plane too) the other chassis is fully CNC routed- also, the offset battery holes were templated by the 86-88 pans, after that they corrected the offset holes and the middle nose hole (at the bellcranks) which served no purpose on the TQ.
