Is the upright / wishbone geometry ok? It looks as if it is at the limit of suspension travel (if that makes sense) 
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Everything looks a bit dusty...
Do you give talks to folks sitting on garden recliners while wearing a high vis jacket and using the flipchar???
Sorry you asked for comments...
Oh and the locost looks good. Great to see someone still building rather than assembling.

Looking good. Like the paper bodywork, very light-weight 
Some discrepancy between the two lower wishbones?

if you look in my photo archive,the lower wish bones are different to the one's im using now,the gas-shock bottoms out before the ball joints
(top or bottom) do so i think ive got enough movment,thanks for all you comments keep them comming

I'd put the radiator right at the front of the nose cone - will be too much hot air floating around where it is.
Top ball joint locking nut should be on the outside of the bone.
Can't see anything else at the mo.

Nose cone looks a bit odd as well - might look better more flat on top.
Looks like it looking down too much.
Just my opinions of course.

re the ball joint lock nut: in my opinion it's a better engineering solution the way you have it: the 'normal' way the locknut is
also trying to break the threaded bar at its point of highest stress!
cheers
Bob
PS provided the camber's right & there's enough thread yada dada dad...

I understand what you are saying but that is how all bolts work.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

Lower unsprung inertia too by placing the mass of that big nut closer to the pivot point.

Actually I kind of like where the radiator is located. I'd build some funnelling aluminium to keep fresh air to to it. The nice part about it
beign so far back is that it moves weight back, and allows a larger radiator.
I'm in the process of building mine, so this gives me ideas.

But not if the nut is moved to the inside as shown in this build. It is a better solution IMO for exactly the reasons Bob C states.
