Reply to "Brake pipe routing for rear pipes"

The lack of a Heims joint on the outboard end of the outboard upper link to the hub carrier is a real mystery. No other De Tomaso car does that. Also, the rear bridge being soft mounted to the subframe makes no sense, it allows a tremendous amount of flex that must allow camber change as well. I have looked at the GT40 rear suspension. Maybe they are theoretically the same in a kinomatic drawing but they are executed in a very different way, note the outboard upper hub carrier link and the rear bridge.

In my picture see my new bridge hard mounted to the frame with the transaxle soft mounted to the bridge. I drove the car five feet and felt the difference.
