Hello all. I am looking for a 2020 or newer frame, does not have to be a rolling chassis. I just need the cradle section. Any info on where I can purchase one thank you. I am looking to build something very special. Thanks

Good luck finding a Frame that doesn't need major re-building ..... Mike :thumbup:Quote:

I guess it depends on what you want to do with it.
The Spyder frame is very strong against design forces. But very weak against force which should never be applied. Like a collision.
Damage is almost always concentrated on the front end. Bent A-Arms and main frame structure where the suspension connects.
I'm with Mike. I wish you the best of luck.
I'm looking to try and fit a different motor and tranny into a frame. So it can be bent. Thanks.

Which I would assume you know and have a plan to compensate for. It just doesn't take much of the wrong kind of force to bend a Spyder frame. I think it may take a lot of work to try and straighten one correctly. The insurance companies don't think it is worth the effort.
I wish you good luck in your venture. There are a number of sellers on eBay parting out Spyders. You might try them. I've not seen a frame for sale there. But it's probably for the same reasons listed above. Plus, you can be sure shipping is going to be very high.
The frame is for testing only. It will never see the road again. Please read the previous posts...a frame has been found.. Thank you.
