Hello, I originally posted this in the general TVR topics but was suggested that someone in the more specific wedge group might be able to shed some light. So I'm hoping for some enlightenment!!!!!!

We are working on a 1985 TVR 350I with a body of restoration. The chassis needs the usual outrigger repairs but considerably more now that the body is off and the chassis has been cleaned to reveal numerous areas that need attention. We are in Canada and I've searched for links that might have new chassis available if we need to go that route. I have found nothing! Does anyone know if anyone is remanufacturing wedge chassis? It does have to be for a V8 as they are different (wider) than the V6. It doesn't matter if it's for left hand or right hand drive. This has the early rear suspension but if only the later rear suspension models are available we could use that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John

ps: we have started on restoring this chassis as it seems doubtful we can get a new one. I hope someone might be able to prove me wrong......keep smiling.

I dont believe anyone makes a replacement chassis for the wedge cars
try contacting some of the salvage yards in the UK that specialises in tvrs if you can't repair the original

Sadly I don't think a replacement wedge chassis was ever made. So, its repair was you have.
