RADIUS RODS ON FRONT OF 40/50 CHASSIS.

We have run a 40/50 chassis a short distance with radius rods fitted to the front axle. The first impression is very very pleasing - it has made a marked improvement in the steering.

We are pushing forward with experimental sets of radius rods for the front of Goshawk cars.
