This page is for builders of the R16 Shotgun and Shotgun II buggy (having previously purchased the CD) to check for any additions to the Suppliers List, or updates to the Parts List, drawings and specifications.

R16 Manuals contain all updates current at time of purchase.

Updates:

March 26/08. Today marks the first major revision of the R16 Shotgun (now known as the Shotgun II.)
All the custom laser-cut parts and machined parts are now available for purchase from the one source, thus making the build simpler and quicker. In light of the available parts, DXF files are no longer offered for the R16.
The R16 now uses Tatum front hubs and brakes. 

July 06/07. After one of the recommended suppliers of Combo hubs altered the diameter of their brake discs, a revision of the front upright was necessary to modify the calliper mount to suit. Email me with your license number and I'll send you the update.

June 12/07. An update to drawings batch 20-23 was necessary after I was alerted to an ambiguous glitch! Email me with your license number and I'll send you the update.

March 17/07. A few of the dimensions in two of the drawings were either obscured or omitted. This has been rectified and you can request your copy of the updated drawings by emailing me with your CD license number.

May 23/07. I have devised an alternative method of mounting the FNR and adjusting the drive chain. You can request your copy of the Chain Tensioner Update by emailing me with your CD license number.


Errata:

March 03/07. The lengths of tube for the Trailing Arms are shown in dwg. R16S-39b, but didn't migrate to the Materials List. The total amount of 4130 1.25" x .095" tube required for the upper A-arms and trailing arms is 44 feet.
