      Looks like someone was smart enough to get credit towards their BS by having a project car.

      Still want a Sprite/Midget... eventually.

          @qaaaaa The only bits I don't like are the single-shear mounting for the shocks at the frame rail (looks potentially bendy) and the single upper control arm.

          I find the use of solid rod for the pivot link curious. Seems to me using sheetmetal would make for better weld penetration and would be easier to fabricate.

          Gotta hand it to him, though. Those Armstrong lever shocks were pretty terrible.

            @qaaaaa I thought about doing something like this and designing some sort of biofilter exhaust for an old motorcycle, but I’m not smart enough. I still want to try it, though.

              @old-busted-hotness I don’t think the single UCA is any sketchier than the original design, with the UCA and shock effectively being one. It’s an interesting design and I’m glad the drawings are included. I’m not familiar enough with FEA to know if the assumptions made for the model of the linkage are valid or not, but it’s a very interesting solution nonetheless.
