So far the comments from other builders are correct. Ford/BL would design the susension with high multiplication factors. I.e. they would design the part then add a factor (say x2) so that the part is as twice as strong as it needs to be. As the Roadster is going to be at least half of the weight of the donor tin top we have a factor of at least 4 times.
Having said that I have changed the design to suit my BMW upright and will use a Volvo ball joint. Piccies to follow.
