    Very nice work! The frame is looking great! Are you going to paint it or have it PC'd?

    Made up shock axle brackets, just need to clean case and tig them in place.









    Been thinking about axle location, a pan hard won't work correctly with a transverse spring in my opinion so been looking at alternatives, thought about a Mumford set up but it's a bit to complicated for the space I have so decided on a Watts linkage.
    First job was to make the centre pivot out of a lump of aluminium bar.












    Next some tube was found and threaded inserts made up








    A simple bracket was made to start with and then added to as I went
