With my special still in the planning stage, I have a blank sheet of paper and would appreciate your advice.
The Austin Seven in common with the Austin Healey Sprite share quater elliptic rear springs and inherent roll oversteer. This I believe is a result of one spring lengthening and the other shortening as the car rolls through a corner. I think this could be eliminated by either an A frame Rose jointed off the chassis cross member close to the torque tube mounting or parallel radius arms.
I'm sure this problem has been tackled although I cannot find any information.
Thank you
John
