Anybody using the freestyle front setup on their car with the pushrod suspension?
I'm currently looking into my options using the system. I do have most of the parts available, but am missing info on the bellcrank.
If somebody has measured it up or is willing to measure it up for me would be very welcome t contact me.
I can fabricate them myself but would need the exact rocker ratio.

I'm using on my car, not sure if the whole kit is available anymore, but Arch can still knock bits up for it.

The car is in Surrey, you can pop by and measure anything you wish.

Yes, Knew that already. Thing is I want to look if I can make a 2 position damper variant.
If I run into a brick wall finding the data I will contact Quaiffe. Probably also a brick wall but maybe able to climb it.

I don't appear to have received any messages.

The pic below of my car, is it the same system to the one you're expecting? What do you need measuring?

I would need only the bellcrank ratio. (the aluminum part where the damper and pushrod mount to)


Peter the image is pretty good. I can almost see the angle on the bellcrank.
I bought the rest from Bruce, so don't need anything on that.
Love that car you got. Only for that I would come over to the UK to see it up close.

Thanks Harry, if you're over at any time you're welcome to have a close look.

I'll email that pic to Steve who is looking after the car and ask him to measure it up for you. Hopefully before the end of the week.

Out of interest, do anybody have the installation instructions for the Freestyle kit?
I seem to have lost mine, and they would be useful if I ever need to strip it down.
