Johan, good luck with the build! After not being able to discover enough information about Zakspeed I built my car using normal front legs and hubs but with compression struts and drop link arb. All could be swapped if information becomes available!
The previous Zak thread was mostly about the Gp5 turbo Mk2 spaceframe car so not as relevant as could be for 1974. There was another by Greg Cozier researching an ex Broadspeed Mk1 he has in the Bahamas.
Perhaps the most famous and original AMR Escort XOO349F is back with the Mann family but comes from an earlier period. The problem with a lot of cars (like the Zakspeed Mk1 I looked at) is that their careers continued after Gp2 ETCC or whatever and the spec was changed over time. Period photos and recollections are worth a lot!
