Re: SER1 107 Truck Cab

Hi Martin,

It has always been a bit of a problem that there seem to be very few details
of the 107SW chassis about and people spend many happy hours arguing about the
correct rear crossmember.  There are several versions around that people will
swear are correct.

As far as trying to use a 107SW chasssis for a 107, forget it.  They are
totally different.  You would be better using one of the other chassis or
rebuilding a genuine chassis, they do appear for sale fairly regularly, and if
you like I can tell you when I see one next.  I have assumed you are in the
UK, actually I saw one for sale last week, as a rebuilt rolling chassis.

Regards,

Tom  Christie.
