Cool! I reminds me of the "look" of the UWA car, with the 3-spoke wheels and the shape of the nose.

Tidy looking car... I really liked last year's as well.

Is all the chassis stressed carbin skin?

Its hard to tell from the last pic but is that a 5/16" rod end outboard in the front, top wishbone? The same one that carries the pull rod?

Is that also a spherical in the bottom, front outboard wishbone?

[Dan Deussen @ Weber Motor]

All the skin except for the top access cover is stressed.

I believe all rod ends are 1/4" and all A-arms use spherical bearings that are housed in custom casted ends.

Andy is the suspension guy. I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif !

My Good Buddy Dan is Correct!

Just to add to his clarification...No rod Ends were used on A-Arms, only spherical bearings were. All pullrods and tie rods use rod ends.

Cool... sorry I mistook something in the picture for a rod end outboard.

Good luck getting those tires up to operating temp.
