Yes, I’ve been following their build closely!

Hi Jason,
Why would movement of the body put any stress on that joint? These are pretty big diameter tubes and aren't in any stress in the nominal position, I actually want a 'bit' of give to allow...

The shock mount on the steel arm is definitely better for higher loads being double shear. No real weight difference. I wanted the narrowest track possible. IIRC there are 2 or 3 different aluminium...

The shock towers weren't designed to take the whole loading of the rear end and I have heard of them braking before so I use both. Using torsion bars as well helps share the spring loading in the...
