I picked this note off another forum and thought I'd post to the Digest. If anyone responds I'll see that the original poster gets a copy. The March/April 1993 edition of the "MGB Driver Journal" has

Interesting... A couple of years ago, when I was seriously into the EP MGB, I designed some hypothetical composite springs that would solve a lot of the MGB's rear suspension oddities. For starters,

If it was perfectly rigid, it would also turn your rear axle housing into the world's biggest sway bar. I discovered this effect when I put lowering blocks in a Cortina GT and thus took the traction

Say... you're right! It would, wouldn't it? So what's that saying about how for every problem there is a solution that is simple, elegant, and wrong? :-) Now I understand why Butch went to the troub

I'm not sure I understand this. Many 'modern' live rears are connected to the chasis with rigid links. They use coil springs, but I think you might achieve the same thing with your half leaf design.

A nit: Such an arrangement did not come from the Mini. The Mini has fully independent trailing arms for the rear suspension with no anti-roll (sway) bar of any kind. The roll camber change is the sam

That's what I meant when I said the stole "much" of it from the Mini. The trailing arm setup. VW just added the idea of the sway bar concentric with the trailing arm mounts.
