Perhaps the easiest way to do it would be to get hold of an original chassis that's too rotten to use as-is but isn't distorted and still has (most of) the mounting holes in the right places, and use it as a template to build a jig around it. If the original chassis isn't too badly gone you could then use the jig to hold the chassis in alignment while you cut out the rotten parts and replace them, and afterwards the same jig could be reused to repair other chassis or maybe even build new ones.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

I do have an original blue print of a chassis cab from the works! I did have this on display at the Minor LCV Register's bash for the 50th back in 2003. however it is extremely large and rare.........................so can not be posted and I would not entrust to the Post of any description
however Paul you are more than welcome to visit to view, or see the chassis and take meassurements.
Hope that this helps

Once you have the dimensions of an original chassis (both vectors) most half decent fabrication works could in theory reproduce the original in box section and/or tube or modify what you wanted for up rated suspension, drive trains and bigger engines. We may not have Morris anymore or Austin, MG and Rover but we still have an engineering base (just) if someone measures a chassis I can look into getting one or two made. Lets face it Morris, Austin, Rover et al used what they had to make brilliant cars, sooner or later someone is going to have to make new parts or we all end up with a garage full of wrecks.

Crikey, there is a few threads running on this van chassis thingy now!
The workshop manual has some measurements for alignment checks of the rear spring mounts and torsion bar mounts. I think there was someone in South Wales who made some full chassis legs, Russ can probably confirm this. With these and the rear shocker mount you'd have a good start on the full dimensions.

I though BigG had closed these - no idea how it got to the wrong area!
In the interests of tidyness I've put it in bodywork - as it's was a technical query.
