Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
I need help...
I need photo's of Dutton chassis, bare chassis if possible, unmodified if possible and they need to be done to a set of specs, anybody that can help?
I am going to get them drawn up in a CAD package so that you, the club member, can download a sectional picture and then sketch any modifications you wish to make on a plan before making them. I am going to start with my Phaeton chassis when I next go over the lock up, i'll post the photo's up so you can all see what I need. I will also need some measurements taken in millimetres so they can be drawn to scale.
Anyone with a currently bare chassis project please get in touch and I'll give you details in advance.

If you can email them to membershipsecretary@duttonownersclub.co.uk and I have the ability to insert them into the host space on the DOC website.

just thought my find of the day may be worth mentioning in this subject
whilst sorting some stuff and collecting one melos from ,,wonderland i came across a manilla folder i,d forgotten about and in it is a draftsmans drawing of a dutton ,melos, chassis including some measurements it was drawn by the first owner/builder of my ,melos,(no1) he was an engineer and lecturer at manchester university (so i was told and believe)
if its of use to you you may borrow it to copy but i would like it back to keep with the car
please let me know either way and also how i could get it to you ..

That would be superb Mike. What size is the blueprint at the moment (A4, A3?)
I have A3 copiers at work so no problem copying big papers.
I could collect if you are going to Stoneleigh and fancy bringing them down, copy them at work and then ship back to you from work in a document tube by courier. If I can get access to the plotter I will get a much bigger set made (A1 or possibly A0) and put a copy of those in the tube too. The Melos chassis is very similar if not identical to one of the Phaetons so getting two cars done at once would be cool.

I'm not sure what the dimensions relate to with out the pictures but that's awesome.
Those dimensions in conjunction with the photo's are exactly whats needed to produce accurate drawings.

will email a better scan of the pic's and the excel file from work tomorrowit will make much more sense.
column 1 relates to which piece it is, column 2 is the length, column 3 is the size of the boxing and then the "end is if it does connect to anything or it has the letter of the piece it connects to
