Its probably not new or acceptable to those with totally original cars, but hopefully someone may be able to use it
Cheers Tom.

Wow! I am very impressed with the engineering! The Model A's transverse spring and hangers act just like my late great aunt's "Lawn Glider" that we used to get swinging way beyond its design capacity when we were kids. Your design must completely eliminate the side to side sway I have always experienced in As and Ts when turning on bumpy roads! I would purchase one and install it if it was available in a heart beat!

Well Paul, it couldn't be easier to make. Do you have a local steel fabricators to weld up the bracket and the balls? I could price the whole thing in £s but you can get hold of the parts much cheaper than me.

For those that followed the front end, Mark has now worked out a neat way to do the rear, and the result is quite amazing in terms of the car now tracking like an arrow....really worth doing. here are the pics.

Again using all Model A track rod parts.
