If anyone is interested in the tech specs of the 60s GP cars I talked about, try
the following link. If you click on 'Lotus 49 Special', there is a good
description of the front suspension setup:
"On the front bulkhead of the monocoque a tubular steel subframe carries the
front suspension and the steering rack and pinion, the suspension being by upper
rocking levers operating inboard coil-spring/damper units, and lower wishbone
members in what is now an almost universal layout"
