Lotus 49 HELP!

Post

I plan on modeling my favorite car the Lotus 49 in CAD but I am having the hardest time finding Cosworth DFV blueprints with dimensions of each part as well as detailed Lotus blueprints with every dimension I need to model it precisely. PLEASE HELP

you can get the car as a modelkit and measure al the parts and do some calculations. it might not be completely right but it can be useful i guess.

You can buy a set of DFV plans on ebay. Just a few £s

Or even better get them 3d scanned and scale them up.

You could head the the Donington GP collection, if you asked nicely they would probably let you run a tape measure over one.
