Thanks guys, it is good to back, I have been comanded to take my kids to school in it this morning
Sorry no pics, it is all still a bit secret squirel (in case it don't work!!!) but so far it looks very promising and I think my rear springs may last a lot longer and articulate heaps better (hint).
What are the dates for A/T Steve?
Peter.

safe and working are two different things, it is safe (or wouldn't get in it, let alone my kids
) whether it works as intended is a whole nother thing

No, I like my leaves, I just didn't like like how the spring over destroyed them quickly and so far all attempts to make a track bar that didn't influence the springs at all through the arc of their travel has failed miserably (up till now
)

I think he means that his elastic braces weren't up to the task, he has now had cable braces made to avoid excessive droop.
