Hi Ron I never received any messages, or requests re payment for CAV subforum.... Simply noticed that it's missing, and our Auto Futura log-on kicked out. ? Jean Fourie

Hi The car in question is a very early spaceframe car. The S designates the spaceframe. The new monocoque chassis has a MONO in chassis number. Cars built by Auto Futura has a AF in the number . Regards Jean

Hi Ray Yes they do, but you would need to drill the top two holes into the pre-100 chassis. A threaded plate is supplied, which fits inside the chassis from underneath. MUCH stronger than 'old' CAV mount. Jean Attached another photo of the beast....

Hi I would find it very difficult to believe the studs were welded during assembly. Though we did not build your car, I think it most unlikely. Anyway, if you could please measure the holes within the hub, I can see if our studs would work. Also please confirm the length. Thank you Jean

Hi Ray The answer is yes, and I will post pictures next week. I am racing the whole weekend, and will only get to it on Monday. Regards Jean

Hi Casey This serves to confirm that Larry has no involvement with CAV. I personaly do not agree with the tie-rod pick-up point on his uprights, but that does not stop anybody from using them.... Regards Jean

Hi I suggest you all have a quick look at Ackermann Steering - DiracDelta Science & Engineering Encyclopedia The ackermann question answered. Jean

Hi Casey Our new uprights have the correct ball joint angle, stronger attachment blocks, adjustable bump-steer attachment bracket as well as correct Achermann angle. Please contact me on [email protected] if you need further information. Jean Fourie MD, Auto Futura

Hi Guys We are running four as well as six pot Wilwood calipers on our cars. They are both able to fit within the 15" rims. You would however need to purchase the new uprights as the bolt patern is different to that of the PBR units. jean
