I suppose everyone at the Roycroft Trophy meeting had a look at the front suspension set up on the car. You would have to do a lot of lateral thinking to come up with that.....bungee cords and all. I see the current owner has put some sort of adjustment for the ride height in place, which I dont think it had before, or maybe it is just to be able to stretch the bungees over the pulleys.

Yes an ingenious arrangement, I fitted the adjustable anchor points as needless to say I cant find anyone with experience in this form of suspension and have been unable to locate any information on the stretch rates and characteristics of "rubber bands" in this sort of application.
The adjustments will enable me to set up ride height and rebound rates. Will be interesting to see just how they work once the car is back on the track. And yes stretching the rubber bands over the pulleys would otherwise have been almost impossible.
