Remember that single-shear attachment where the rear of the lower arm mounts to the upright? Well, when I was at the Carlisle show I looked at a CAV stainless steel monocoque GT40. It was fitted with Gulf flares and wide rear tires like mine will be. Unlike the RF kit I'm building, it uses a rear sway bar, which I think will be a necessity on mine considering the increased rear track width and associated understeer. Anyway, the CAV uses a tab welded onto the rear of the lower arm as the attachment point for the sway bar end link. I wasn't crazy about the idea of having to disassemble, weld, re-plate, and reassemble my lower arms, and then the idea hit me. Note how the uprights are symmetrical, and how the brackets attach only to the front. Why not use those pre-drilled holes in the rear of the uprights and fabricate a simple U-shaped bracket that can not only serve as the attachment point for the sway-bar end links, but can also give me a double-shear attachment at the rear-lower-arm-to-upright point. A simple and elegant solution.
