Designing lightweight MX5 frame rails

The frame rails have to stiffen the weak body of the MX5 and provide protection against incidently hitting speed bumps.

The requirements to consider:
  • Stiffening more that common market designs
  • Lightweight
  • Rustproof
  • Max road clearence
  • Minimal effort to install

Light and strong at the same time can be achieved by only optimising shapes and profile.
