... but, on topic, in both your pic and mine you can clearly see diagonals on the a-frames.

I don't know about the the two photos but not the same as the pdf chassis, that is unless someone "restored' it with knock-ons.
Seeing there are couple replies, I went and opened one of the other .pdf's that Clark sent to me and sucked out the pages as snapshots and copied to a new file and saved it as a .jpg, at approximately 1.65meg so I can post it, the .pdf is about 6.5meg. I lost some quality but I guess thats life. This is the October 10th 1962 article from"Motor", I think it has a lot more detail, it is also 3 pages so thats part of it. If you look at the rear of the differential you will notice that it looks like a prototype, the top ears appear to be bolted to the case and to the frustacones. All good stuff that should be on this forum I think.
