Re: All about: 2CV suspension Jonathan wrote: Well, it is an agricultural vehicle....of sorts. Touché! I like that one.. But for really "agricultural" you can't go past an '09 IHC highwheeler  Yes, by "looking after" it'd be a matter of getting in before the KE digs itself a stress raiser ditch in the eye. I still find the knife edge system weird - very weird, but then I do come from a pretty much conventional motoring background (veteran cars exempted!)

Re: All about: 2CV suspension everythings different on a 2cv, in a good way, a lot of it was well thought out and very well engineered, but there are a few things which are a pain in the but!

Away from the kitchen scales example, are there other automotive applications of that principle? I'd be interested to find out. I still reckon it'd be feasible to use high quality (strength) rose joints (female rod ends). I would have said that the crack in 2many's photo was in its first flush of disaster, BTW

Re: All about: 2CV suspension have i lost the plot, or can the knife edges only go through the shackles? (bits attached to the arms) one way? i seem to remeber swearing a lot to get them lined up
