Stratos Dimensions

[powelly999]

Hi all
I'm in the process of researching before the 'commit to a kit' stage and had originally thought on blagging some space to build a Stratos in a relatives vehicle repair shop. However, I've just had a good stare at my own garage, albeit a single, I was wondering if there was any mileage in actually using it for the project. I know it wouldn't be ideal, but the prospect of being able to just pop in the garage for ten minutes would outweigh the necessity to get in the car to drive to the workshop.
With that in mind, does anyone have the external dimensions of either a Hawke or the Lister Bell, feet and inches or metric whichever?

Thanks in advance
Andy

3710mm long, 1750 wide (stradale). 1110mm high.

A lot shorter with the front and rear clips stored in roof spaces and no exhaust fitted. It's doable on a single garage but will bee VERY cramped. I'd recommend a trolley to build it up on, or wheel dollies to push it easily from side to side. Important to put something protective on the walls or floor to limit movement.

Helps if the single garage has room at one end for a bench too!

I just found it in Graham Robson's book as you replied!

I think you can work on the car alright in a single garage but the trouble comes finding space to keep a engine, panels,and all the other parts you need which mount up to a fair old heap of stuff.
A good shed is also needed.

and a fridge for the summer and a heater for now!

Is that for the beer in the Summer and coffee in the Winter Tim?

Fridge = beer, Heater = preventing nuts from freezing......

Coffee in doors!

It's do-able, but far from ideal. I spent an awful lot of time just shifting stuff from A to B and back again. Wasted countless hours setting up then de rigging for the day.

Two of those letters Phil. The A & D are OK, just need to add an M in front and you've got it.

It pays to look at this picture from time to time to remind myself how lucky I am now I have moved.
