This swing arm is lookin great. Sorry, cant post pics of it yet, it just wouldnt be civilized. The main load bearing area is 2" buy 4", this is one big beffy swingarm.

looks pimp. make it have doors, i think every thing needed to make the whole front end swing open would add to much weight.

any one ever heard of a Messerschmitt.



trying to find these pics turned up that mazda made 3; 3 wheeled cars.
Mazda T-2000 Japan 1957-74 2 rear
Mazda K360 Japan 1959-69 2 rear
Mazda T600 Japan 1959-71 2 rear

Hmm, learn somthing new every day. I never knew that Mazda made a 3 wheeler. I would be scared to death in that thing doing 55. Kinda reminds me of my buddys ****** jeep stationwagon he had in highschool buy the looks and it was an adventure every time I got in that thing.

Indeed we considered many options, including the Saab Aero X, the K1 Attack, what is at the top of the list for consideration is something like what can be seen in the last concept at the bottom, below...
Reverse scissor hinge.... that way all the hardware can be mounted to the rollcage behind the driver....
