quarter elliptic spring front end

I like the "flat" springs and understand how that works like a four link. It is the high arched spring that I think are prone to problems. Thanks for posting.

 

Thanks Stan. Cool shocks too!!! You make em?

 

JJmack: yes I did ....but,the whole frt end,susp.,H/light & shock mount design was ripped off from a picture of the car Zipper built for Brian Brennan...I had to fab it myself ,since poverty seems to have latched onto my wallet and won't go away.!!!

It looks to me that the spring to axle brackets have a slot that the bolt through spring eye can slide in. That lets the spring end move relative to the axle during deflection of the spring with out changing the axle position fore and aft.

 

Been thinking about a quarter eliptic sprung project and always into more ideas....
