Did you make your own de-dion Phil? Looks neat.

Pete
Yes indeed. Its made up of a 2" seamless tube with 3mm thickness. Fabricated the trailing arms bracket, and CNC machined (hollow from inside) uprights. Trailing arms are from MK, and panhard rod is from seamless tube as well. Very similar to a Catheram set up, not as good though! Hope it goes as well as it looks. Total weight about 11kg (less bolts, springs and bushes)
