Some great old racing shots Paul. The wing explanation is brief, but interesting, at least to me. Regarding Colin Chapman's Lotus wing follies I remember Jim Hall's comment to the officials, "I have seen wheels come off too. They aren't looking to ban wheels!" I didn't remember your use of a watts linkage to keep the struts vertical. Seems like a good idea. Did the rubber mount washer set ups have enough compliance to accommodate the change in "track"? Of was the suspension travel so short that it didn't mater?

Thanks Bill. That was a great comment of Jim's.

It was a combination of the rubber washers and the 4130 triangular leaf spring.
You probably know that the stress is constant in a triangular leaf sprint.

It was so simple and it worked so great.
