tiger rear suspention
hello earthlings
any body know if you can replace the tiger e1 rear suspention which weighs in at the same as the titanic with wishbones like most other 7 cars?
Dear God smashed the mold once he cast me realizing he really had done it this time!

Yes, as long as you get someone reputable to make them for you.

"most" other sevens have a live axle. Conversion to IRS shouldn't be too difficult, but there is no bolt on solution AFAIK, you are
going to need to modify the chassis.

Cats all use the Sierra trailing arms and de-dion bar.
Wouldn't be too hard to replace with fabricated parts without going IRS.

Understandable -- it uses the full Sierra rear end sub-assembly.

Whats the point apart from weight saving though? If you are going to start fabricating bits you might as well junk the useless semi-trailing arm arm
suspension and use either a de-dion or adapt one of the other manufacturers IRS parts.

That's a fair point.
I have been drinking alcohol today though!
