Really? Thats not the sliding pillar system you are confusing?
For the original poster, Locosts use sierra mcphereson type struts with an adaptor where the strut would normally go.

Some Nissans, later Sunnys I think, use a short McPherson strut but are front wheel drive like most modern cars.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Steve,
This lifted directly from Robin Hood SubK kit page as part of kit contents:
"Pair of mini McPherson struts"
Couldn't find a piccy in the 20 secs I managed to spend on their site

There's a picture here of a mcpherson struted Robin Hood.
The system looks very similar to another setup than I can't put my finger on. No sleep for me then!

I'd love to work at RH. It looks like the sort of stuff you can lash together at after chucking out time at the local. A skin full of beer, 2
bags of scratchings and then roll into the factory to weld some stuff together. Must be hilarious in there! Got to be an idea for a sitcom in that

I must agree with Mr Noodle. As a prospective Locost customer, buying a prefabbed chassis has its advantages. But sacrificing quality for no real
difference in spend is fools gold. Especially if you are buying to avoid the rigmoral of welders and the like.
Now if RH or Lolocost can be honest and palm their "CNC machined" chassis off for a more acceptable price, then one might consider the
aforementioned sacrifice.
Or you could opt for the MacPherson to strut your stuff. The Dilema still stands.
