Hi Mark,
The CC&AR system responds to anti-dive and anti-squat strategies in the same way as any other double-wishbone suspension system. By adopting a rising rate approach however, we have found that its inclusion can normally be avoided.
Have you seen the CC&AR Web site ( http://www.walker-partnership.com/)? There's a lot more information about the system there. |

Looks like a fun project! If a car needs a Carbon Fiber Body, this is it!

Its a driveshaft mounted emergency/parking brake. This is a really interesting chassis - anxious to see the rest of the build.
EDIT - Jets beat me to the reply.

for the iva test for registaition in the UK we need a mechanical hand brake , its a cable operated caliper ,
otherwise we have to put one on each rear wheel wich adds to the unsprung weight and cost. |

Looks like a game of "Pick-Up-Sticks" gone horribly wrong!

I think the originals were based on 4" round tubing as the foundation of the frame.

The Heresy Cobra
Mate that looks bloody marvelous, old chap.
Dont worry about your American cousins some do tend to get a bit touchy if you go away from the original. The tube design does hide the fact u have a chevy in there Wait till they see that  Maybe the 19 inch rear rims will distract them a little longer
Have u decided what body u are going to use. Aluminium, fibreglass or carbon
Wonderful work.
Bruce
