The story of a lifelong dream as it happens by Ivan Lees.

This shows a plan view of the chassis as received. The trailing arms were either VW or similar with four stud wheels and drum brakes. I understand that this is an early KVA design and is not considered to be a good design due to excess flexibility in operation.

This shows a side view of the chassis as received. The upright support for the spring and shock absorbers was fabricated from 3" by 1.5" tube with a 'U' shaped at the top to connect the spring and shock absorber.

This is a plan view of the chassis after the alterations using the inverse 'A' wishbone and upper strut and two trailing arms all as per the KVA 'C' type chassis.
