Googled rose jointed wishbones and this popped up.

Wouldnt want to have a front end crash in it though would you!

Did you look further on the site

"750cc watercooled 8 cylinder, 90 degree vee configuration, bore and stroke 56 x 38mm, 'Flat' (180) crankshaft design, 6 speed close ratio cassette-style gearbox, 4 valves per cylinder, 17,000 rpm redline (race motors 19,000rpm), 120 kW power output projected. "

He also produces a 1000cc version - Imagine how cool that would be in a BEC - 17000 revs past Mr Plod

Apart from the usual nosecone which does nothing for crash protection ?

That thing looks incredible - the view from the cockpit must be amazing - never miss another apex!

From what I can see, the front bell cranks operate on either end of a single shock.

How well could that perform? it looks a lot lighter/simpler than two shocks but how much would it compromise the handling?

there are some repercussions like different roll resistance etc. Its been discussed in the past but since i cant remember what the system is called, i cant search for it!

Joel you seem to have an echo at the mo

Its a transverse monoshock.

I found the previous discussion you mentioned here http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=22631.
