    Cool! I reminds me of the "look" of the UWA car, with the 3-spoke wheels and the shape of the nose.

    Tidy looking car... I really liked last year's as well.

    Is all the chassis stressed carbin skin?

    Its hard to tell from the last pic but is that a 5/16" rod end outboard in the front, top wishbone? The same one that carries the pull rod?

    Is that also a spherical in the bottom, front outboard wishbone?

    All the skin except for the top access cover is stressed.

    I believe all rod ends are 1/4" and all A-arms use spherical bearings that are housed in custom casted ends.

    Andy is the suspension guy. I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong !

    My Good Buddy Dan is Correct!

    Just to add to his clarification...No rod Ends were used on A-Arms, only spherical bearings were. All pullrods and tie rods use rod ends.
