Tiger Avon Front Suspension
Minicooper - 19/5/12 at 08:56 PM

Hello,
Whilst looking at the tiger avon chassis I noticed it has the front part of the chassis raked up about 5 degrees, this also makes the wishbones the same angle, I have never seen that before on any lotus7 alike chassis.

What purpose does it serve? Is it beneficial?

Cheers
David

I've queried this with Tiger (Jim Whatever) themselves, but they never gave me an answer!

At first glance it would seem to be inbuilt 'dive' for the front suspension, but I suppose they had their reasons; they just never gave me one!!

The Avon wasn't designed by Tiger in the first place so they probably don't know.
