AC AK Frames were stiffer than MKIII and the reason, US DOT
Having a MKII, MKIII (HTM) and MKIV the MKIV is far more solid when driving and flex much more controlled. (stiffer chassis) Followed my MKIII then the MKII.
To make it more confusing depending on the year suspension changed as an example pre-1985 same tubular A-arms as MKIII. After 86 (EFI) they went box, and I am sure in the process still went back and forth depending upon who was working chassis and what day it was. A few tubes missing but you get the jist.

Hope I helped....
