Just caught up with your build blog Laurence. You have made a nice job of that 4 link rear end, its very much the same sort of set up that went into the early Westfields. I have actually driven one with a solid axle and they still handle well. IRS is not the be all and end all just a nicety.

If you make the link that steadies the axle a z shape with a pivot in the middle of the diff case it makes them handle nicer.
It alter,s the roll center.

I hit a milestone today smiling like a dog with two tails
Well I am so happy today I finally got a rolling chassis,As some of you who have been following my build I have had to do considerable design changes along the way.
One of which was the front suspension, I am using corolla uprights (cut down mc pherson struts)also using rose joints and toyota hiace drag links. I have drawn and redrawn the design in Cad even made a cardboard wishbone (see my blog). anyways my father(ex Lotus F1 mechanic) came to Thailand for a visit in September and we went over my design which he duly gave the thumbs up on he made a wood mock up of my designe and we worked out the geometry. I got the parts laser cut and bushes made for drag link and rose joints and this week I finally finished welding them up and fitting so now have a rolling chassis.  I have fitted some sq tube as temp shock to get the road height correct. I will be updating the blog later so check it out for more pics.
