Finally bought a chassis for this - it's the later mk.7 RM chassis rather than the mk.6 it's supposed to be, but having checked the TB database and both manuals it really does look like the only difference is the rear body mounts (the mk.6 has white nylon posts with a hole down the middle for wire wing stays, on the mk.7 they're black plastic, narrower, without the stops or the hole for wing stays).

These are seller photos, I don't need the body so the state of that doesn't matter, front tyres are toast but re-re ones should fit (?) - I just hope it looks ok when it gets here

Is this what you are looking for?
Its well used with lots of scratches on the underside, so you decide if you measure it up and make a new one, or use it as is.
Either way, I will need your address on PM, as I never seem to remember that...
