About the single shear:
It's a good point, but in the Käfercup they raced with the single-shear setup and it didn't break. And they did push their cars to the limit. |
Sorry, I forgot to comment on the single shear in racing. Most/all Kafercup cars used the rear cup brace that in general connects to the top damper mount. This point is then triangulated back to the frame horns at their front and rear so that the damper mount now becomes a simple double shear point not the single shear/cantilever bolt arrangement thus doubling the shear capability and quadrupling the bending moment capability (although as previously said there is very little bending moment imparted by this set up.
