isn't it Ant..........i want to say Anstead (but may be wrong)

he used to sell bits and bobs on ebay and the like. that's the development of it afaik. pretty sure the transition was mentioned in which kit a couple of years back.

anyway, avoneer had some front ones off him in the early days and the bush tubes weren't straight among other things.

tread carefully i suppose is the gist.

www.acesportscars.com

dom is the contact and really knows his stuff, look at the starter package its not a bad price, the website is a bit old because they now offer fully independant setups, and they have a new design for the new year,
let me know what you think

The "ears" where the balljoints are bolted onto the lower wishbones seem to be held on by a worryingly tiny amount of metal. Perhaps the pictures are misleading but would like to see a closeup of the wishbone design.

Prices seem very competitive, if the quality is up to scratch and they get the marketing right they should be able to do well.

the chassis that i can see in the gallery is still in the jig, so obviously not finished. Prices do seem good but its sadly yet another copy of the same idea. Oh for a breath of fresh air!

Under the individual parts section there is a smal "pic" button next to the chassis item. This shows a completed chassis
