Interesting; I assume there's a small ARB 'driven' by secondary puchrods off the rockers, hidden in that photo?

Did it work?

And what's the engine... I thought it was a BMW motorcycle engine at first glance, until I counted the cylinders!

No immediately obvious and simple way to adjust the roll stiffness on that one, though, except perhaps to vary the distance between the ARB pushrods and the centre of the torsion bush?

Looks rather overcomplicated, too, which defeats one of the main reasons I'd want to use a monoshock (weight).


I have no idea, i actually found that photo on here! Thought it might be of interest.

The second photo i stumbled across and thought it was a clever setup. Its from a FS design so i presume it was dropped due to being overcomplicated.

As for the Allan Staniforth comment, that was just something i thought I recalled, you may well be right. It certainly ended up on a couple of terrapins though (im desperately searching for the photo I had).

Turns out i'm wrong about that trike! Apparently it works in the opposite manner however I can't work out how :S
