Pony Trucks

[SimonT]

Does anyone have a good method of providing a pony truck with springing and side control? I feel I need something a little more sophisticated than the couple of phosphor-bronze leaf springs that I have now.

I used this on the A3, probably even less sophisticated than leaf springs but works rather well, the spring has a natural side control and allows the axle to rock as well.



Really does need a good clean up under here The spring was fine until I opened a bottle of Carrs near by, within hours all my needle files and anything steel went rusty, can only guess it was from the open bottle fumes as I've never experienced this problem whilst using safety flux

Thanks Mick. I'll bear it in mind. My biggest problem is that the inner wheel of the pony truck lifts as the radius of the bend tightens.
