To fullfill what we feel is a need in the sidecar industry C Stanley Motorsports Inc. is happy to announce a new series of American made sidecar called the Freedom Steel series. We hope many will be as excited about this as we are.

The initial sidecar body being offered is called the CSM 1.( See attachment.)
Bodies are constructed of 16 and 18 gauge steel. The CSM 1 can also be ordered in 1/8" aluminum as an option.

Note that body design varaitions are available upon request. All bodies are handcrafted one at a time. We are not 'trapped' by a fiberglass mold here. Do not be afraid to call for pricing if you think you want a body modification done.

Bracing inside the bodies is minimal which alleviates some of the 'knee knockers' the passengers have seen in days past.

True 'punched in' side louvers are also available if desired. Pricing varies with the number of louvers etc.

The standard CSM 1 body does not have an outside opening trunk but one can be added. There are various trunk design options which include a fold out table for camping and/or a spare tire rack.

A nice upholstery package in black is standard. This includes a seat,seat back and floor covering. A tonneau cover and side interior upholstery is also available. Color options are possible also.

A full windshield is also an option as is a Brooklands windscreen.

For those who desire additional weather protection we have an optional fold down convertible top in the works. This means you can fold the top back instead of removing it and having to lose valuable storage space when traveling.

Steel bodies will be powdercoated inside and out in either black or white with various basic color options available upon request. Powdercoating creates a very durable finish which should be
applealing to many. Paint can be added over the powdercoating by the owner if desired.

Aluminum bodies can be delivered as bare aluminum or powdercoated also.

The chassis itself is not a converted design from years past. It is constructed of 1 3/4" x .120 wall DOM tubing. with mandral bends being utilized in key points to keep the number of welded joints at
a minumum. 4130 Condition 'N' Chrome moly tubing can also be had if desired as an option. Welding is via TIG and MIG throughout.

The swingarm is of a trailing design rotating around a full 1" pivot spindle with a CNC machined custom hub. The wheel spindle is also a full 1" in diameter. Tapered roller bearings are used
throughout. No bushings are used in the swingarm assembly.

Std. Suspension is via a coil over shock with a splined torsion bar suspension including a manual tilt adjustor being available.

The standard wheel and tire combination consists of an aluminum wheel with a 165r15 car tire mounted. Call for options.

The lower mounts are adjustable for track width, wheel lead etc.
Connections at all mounting points are typically via clevis and eyebolts utilizing 1/2" grade 8 bolts.

Struts are constructed with b7 graded rod and 1 1/4" tubing. Ends are CNC machined clevis or eye nut type. Struts with left and right hand threads are also available for ease of adjustment.

A self contained sidecar braking system is an option which includes heavy duty Wilwood master cylinder and automotive caliper with a solid disc. There are other options as well.

Initial pricing will be under 4k for the standard steel model CSM1.

Note that with the 'Freedom Steel Series' we have to capability to produce a metal body to fit your exisiting sidecar frame.
Call or email for details on options and special one off body pricing.
Orders are being taken now.
