Re: 4 link MK1 with inboard turrets SATCHEL LINK
I acknowledge that the 'World Cup' Cars where 'odd balls' in terms of suspension - none of the 'rally' works cars used anything like this and as said the the quote above 'was more for keeping the axle in place than for any performance advantage. However the works rally cars did feature short parallel radius arms together with a transverse horizontal link for lateral location, all from day 1 of the Ford Rally program. My issue is with your diagram - different attachment points for the arms will lead to different geometry changes with end trying to rip themselves out of the chassis attachments as they are swinging through different arcs - the set up only works with a single pair of radius arms.
