[V8Vairs] Rear Suspensions

[Geoffrey Johnson]

Toe is fixed by triangulation from the added arm.   It can be 
adjusted on the 
internal side.   Also camber is fixed by the triangulation as well.   Now 
how effectively it works is up the question.   It handles reasonably well, 
but I did not build it and I dont think the builder had handling in mind.
The only big thing I can see is the wheel will move front to back slightly 
changing wheelbase
as it travels through the new arc it describes as it rotates arount the 
front of the trailing arm.
I like the car, fast as hell, and neat.   But I like the feel of a stock 
Corvair more.   So it is for sale if someone  wants it more then me!
