Mild progress. Working out the design features:

-fixed positive caster gain. Question is how much? I'd appreciate feedback. Walter? Steve C?
-I'll design for max camber adjustment. 2 bolt struts will have more since the hole in body is bigger. On early cars its up to your discretion to clearance body.
-looks that there will be very little change in ride height..+- 4mm
-can be removed/replaced without affecting setting
-easily adjusted from under hood
-will be non cushion mounted for now; good for the racers, a little harsher for daily drivers

Lanner, I'm not sure if you have anyone lined up yet, but I have access to a large manufacturing/machining company through a couple of friends. They do everything from medical devices to paint ball guns and they are looking for more work. If you can get me a design and materials bill I can get an run estimate and materials/machining cost. That would leave only hardware left to be fitted for something like what riseabove has done.

Humble, I do my own manufacturing (manual mill, lathe etc) and considering the tiny niche market I don't think I'd require external vendors.

Got the aurora spherical bearings on order so she's slowly coming together. I'm designing for seals under the spherical to keep road crap out.
