Reply to "Mangusta Top Rear Link Double HEIM solution?"

That "bridge" mount for the ZF was an extension of the theme that DeTomaso tried for when adapting the P-5000 sports-racer chassis to the Mangusta body. The Mangusta was envisioned as a 'Gentleman's Express,' not a raw racing car, hence a quieter shock-mounting of the transaxle instead of a better rigid mount, sound-proofing everywhere- even inside the doors, an absorbent  drip tray below the master cylinders to protect the driver's pants from random fluid drips and even a factory-supplied 'wiping cloth' in the tool kit! The car was supposed to be elegant, not a noisy, rough-edged racer.
