Any ideas?

Looking ahead to the next project......ha
just wandering has anyone used this type of
front suspension and what do you think about it
torsion bar (maybe sprint car type?). Project will
be light weight.....

Thanks for any info.....

Not sure about the suspension, it is intriguing, but is the headlight really attached to a moving part? That can't be a good idea. [S

Skip, it does look like it, but no it's mounted solid with a bracket off the frame.

Looks to me like a torsion bar setup to me. Maybe running inside the frame rail to hide it? Headlight is solid mounted to frame, the other side of it appears to be a friction shock link. If I had the skills i'd try it!

This might help. Actually pretty cool. A talented lad could likely make something similar from junk yard parts. [
