And the bulkhead sheet metal thickness, and everything. It might be in the book, but I'm not finding anything about diameter and wall on the tubing, gauge of sheet metal, etc.
I've been reading where the Terrapin builds have come in under 700 pounds/318kg, I assume that's standard. I have to add some heavier pipe to make SCCA regs, but it sounds like it might add around a pound every 2 feet of such pipe, so I don't think it hurts. I'm needing to come in at or under 800 pounds/364kg. (My pounds to kilos conversions are off the top of my head.) I'm assuming there was something resembling 25mm O.D. pipe at 16 gauge that it's replacing.

And as so many people have been saying, I sure could use the PLANS. In addition to the original pipe size, I'm sure there's plenty that I'm not going to understand from the book.
