That's the sort of thing they use on 205s on the continent. 306 maxi, you need to think much more industrial, not sure if these are proper maxi beams but gives you an idea.  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

yup, the V2 beam is quite a piece of engineering, probably two and a half times the diameter with proper cartridge bearings and afaik half length torsion bars.sure I have also seen a variant with a coilover damper as an additional spring. the first pic you found is a 106 maxi beam. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I've got some of the torsion bars somewhere if I can find them for a picture, they have a little adjustable crows foot in the centre, we use the similar thing on the buggy as a rear bumpstop, just the 306 ones were a bit too large, and the rate was too high.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me!
