I'm guessing my post from a month ago didn't make sense without a pic. Too busy with the volvo anyway I see.
...Thanks WelderLee for the name of those clamps.. stumped me when I saw them, but knowing they're a one-use deal, it makes sense now..
...Sorry Miata for the much delayed response;
The trouble I'm running into with trying to run the stock Berk suspension is that it's so light-duty by design, and I'm worried about anchoring my Miata-based bits to it.. I'm no engineer, but it struck me pretty early on that I'd have to create a one-off frame for this project, and in the end, allow for the fragile Berkeley body to be an unstressed member.. the original design called for much of the car's rigidity to come from this little body, but with the HP increase, I just don't think it would hold up..
It's difficult to capture the complete Berk OEM front suspension as parts of it are molded into the body/inner fenders, but this pic shows the components once separated from the body.. Just not much to it..
