De-dion

Hello,

I hope i do not ask a question already discussed here, if so please re-direct me.

Is there any one who has build a homemade de-dion tube and if so is a drawing avaliable of it.

My plan is to use the wheel hub from a ford scorpio does that make sense ??
I also plan to use discs at the center of the car simmilar to jaguar, has this been done to a locost before ?

I hope some one have the answers (or agree with me ) before i start to weld.....

Regard Tobias

Hello ,

since i am based in Sweden !!
I might get some problems to join you.
I am any how very interested in pictures and info on what parts to use and if there is something special to think about.
For example what kind of wheel angles should you aim at for a de-dion tube and is there any way to make them adjustable.

Best regards Tobias
