As a further bit of interest for this - I've done a graph comparing the bump loads that the Locost and Haynes sees. The actual values don't really matter, but i've taken a 35kg unsprung mass combined with a 5g bumpload. As you can see from the graph - both designs see the same loads - but becuase of the angle that the camber adjuster is at in the Haynes design - the load curve is shifted along - meaning that the ulitmate load seen by the Haynes trying to pull the adjuster out is 17% greater than that on the locost.
