The A Arms in Caterhams and even Locusts don't feature an angled upper balljoint fittment .
Without doubt a different chassis design is suggested :-)
I ...have... drawn an SV clone chassis as a .dwg, down to the last detail.
And the geometry works fine :-) ALL of it.
Using Caterham SV overall dims. And Cat A arms.. why not? they are of good proven quality/design, as well as easily available for similar to clone pricings.
No inordinately long A Arms, No lay down coil overs. No boiler plate shock mounts.. in the wrong place :-) No hacksawing a steering rack :-)
I've solved the design for my chassis build to my complete satisfaction :-) Anyone else can do it too, it's no longer rocket science, with the plethora of excellent programs available these days.
Was only wondering aloud about the design, being so out of step with proven practice, is all and why seeming adults presumably with a fair amount of life experiences, are so complacent/ accepting of it.
Is it just because it's printed on a piece of paper ?
