I'm wondering if anyone has a CAD model of a Series chassis? Or perhaps an original engineering drawing that I could build a CAD model from? Wanting to explore the behaviour of various modifications, and would prefer not to have to start from scratch if I can help it! Thanks.
CAD model of chassis?

The original chassis drawings with dimensions are in the series 3 workshop manual
Thank you. The dimensions in the workshop manual are only those for checking the trueness of the chassis, rather than a complete set for fabricating (or, in my case, modelling) the chassis.
Obviously if I can’t get a hold of what I seek then I can 3D scan a complete chassis if needs be

Could you ask a chassis supplier to buy a set

Scan the image into cad, scale up to major dimension , digitise and use workshop manual dimensions to create main structure and supplement with tape measure

I tried that. Not fair to name them, but they'd obviously never made anything using it.Could you ask a chassis supplier to buy a set
