Try it and let us know what its like, i dare you.
i often think of using a rear beam axle i have, even has holes drilled though the mounting brackets, just have to get bearing caariers

Nah, what you want is a transverse leaf spring and swing arms. 
I know someone who used to have a dragster with that set up. Friction dampers too.
Fantastic apparently!
its off the rear of a bug, technicaly its a torsion tube, i got my wording mixed up lol.
seems alright on the beetle but on a locost i dont know how it will be.
Make a nice paperweight!
For a very large piece of paper

Its crap on the car its designed for, so what makes you think that hanging it on a Locost would make it suddenly improve. Best advise "BIN
