Structural:
Our
exclusive custom designed structural tubular chassis – not to be
confused with a beefed-up VW sub-frame with bolt-on VW components.
heavy
gauge coated stamped steel floor pan - for additional torsional stability of the
chassis and road hazard protection
We begin
construction with all new
structural steel not a
30 year old rusted and fatigued VW floor pan.
All
suspension members, control arms, axle beams, CV axles, front and rear
springs, struts, steering connections (including steering column), steering
rack, spindles (except rear) are brand new and
have never been on a car.
Safety:
Occupants
surrounded by a reinforced welded structural cage
passenger
compartment separated from gas tank by steel firewall
steel
reinforced doors
gas
tank protected from collision by frame members
frame mounted bumpers on collapsible brackets
seat belts
4
way hazard
lights
we don't believe that the battery and its explosive hydrogen gas fumes and
potential loose terminal connection arcing should be in the same
enclosed compartment as the gas tank, its gas fumes, and potential
leaks..... ours is not.
heavy gauge steel floor for chassis strength and road debris hazard protection
- fiberglass floors will give you neither strength nor hazard protection
