Hi
from info given I'm under the impression that the only difference is the rear suspension top mounting tower being a different angle. I have also been informed that if the S1 has adjustable platform shockers then these can be used in the S2.
I have both chassis and cannot see any other differences.
Is this Kosher and are ther other differences.

Mick I think the change to the rake of the rear shock support is between the S2 and S3. I thought the S1 and S2 chassis are pretty much the same.

could be right as I've just measured up and can't see any difference in the tower position

S1 and S2 chassis is the same, only difference is better trailing arm design on the S2 to reduce squating under accelaration

Thats great - the Ex- Lucy chassis is now at the beadblasters and will go to a fabrication shop next week to do all the repairs (new out riggers etc) - while I'm at it I will add the extra strengtheners that the S3 has near the inner seat belt locations.

Also while the chassis is being repaired I will take the body to a local rollcage manufacturer and have one made - will also ask what price for more as I gather several people are looking at having cages fitted.
