No company will supply you with a chassis leg. If you want to go that route, you will have to get someone in your country to fabricate one. I realise it would be expensive to have a chassis shipped to your country, but that is the correct way to go if your car needs one.

thanks
at some point Spyder (no affiliation, just a very, very patient customer) used to offer a repair service, including the replacement of the front section I understand - I'm not sure if they still do repairs ... nor how promptly, but you could always ask them

Spider used a tubular front crossmember on their refurbished chassis. Should be easy to replicate.

I think the best bet for getting a pre fab tower to fit your self or by local suitable person is to contact Spyder. They may or may not be prepared to make up just the you tower.
Other than that it shouldn't be possible to find a local fabricator to make up the tower and fit it. It's just folded steel and measurement can be found on here likely.

I have in the past, considered using the standard 18ga steel, and having a HVAC sheet metal brake bend to the original with a template and angles. Then make it fit, using plug welds etc.vBecause they are Monocoque, and many 100’s of people have done this in the past.

Find out where the limits are, and start from there

Hi
Spyder no longer repair chassis unless they are nearly new accident damaged. I asked about chassis repairs recently.
