Did you make your own de-dion Phil? Looks neat.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

De-Dion

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)
