Thanks Matt. I I'll have to read thru that a couple of times to completely understand it, but I think you've convinced me that a fixed suspension will have to do.

Re; the highlighted text above... I find the non-functional suspension rather odd. Pocher has always provided working suspensions, and clearly this kit does a good job of replicating the suspension, so the fact that it is non-functional left me scratching my head. On the rear suspension, if you disconnect DC-43 from DC-35 then the suspension will travel up and down, and appears to maintain proper geometry. So my question then (as I don't have any reference material for this car) is, on the actual car is DC-43 a rigid rod as in the kit, or does it move like a really thin shock? As it is, with DC-43 connected the suspension can't work, so either DC-43 is not correct or there is another error in the kit's design of the suspension. Does anyone have a reference manual for the car that can explain where the problem is? I realize up above you suggest it's a non-functional torsion bar, but DC-43 is not a torsion bar so I'm questioning whether DC-43 is the problem. I'm considering making a scratch built DC-43 that slides up/down, but don't want to do that if it's wrong. Thanks..
