Front suspension progress

Hi all,

It's been a while but I have progress to report on!

I have been putting a lot of design hours in. I redesigned the front suspension coilover actuation moving from push-rods to pull-rods and moving the coilovers themselves outboard to give a low nose height in between the two front wheels and above the pedal box area.





I've also cut out the brackets for the old setup, filled in the gaps and created a jig for attaching and welding on the new brackets.



I've also pretty much sorted the rear suspension design as a whole. Rear upright and hub detail is complete. The rest is work in progress. I know dimensions and layouts. Just need to draw up the parts in detail. This rear section will be a removable sub-assembly that is quick and easy to remove from the rear of the spaceframe
