Formula Ford Marrick 1994 - Suspension Puzzle!

Good Evening all,

Just wanting to scratch a few brains if I may and make some sense of a particular suspension set up, anyone fancy a challenge! Development Car.

Car Details:

Formula Ford 'Marrick' 1994 (Van Diemen 1985/6 Rear End)
Kent 1600cc
Twin Shocks Rear 1986 Spec
Font Mono Shock (Dellara 'Belleville Washer' Anti Roll Bar)

I am struggling to find any information on the set-up/technical information on the front suspension system. I have never come across a 'Marrick' chassis before, I believe a number of these were manufactured and sent to 'China'. This chassis is based on the 1994 Van Diemen with some differences.

So can anyone point me in the right direction for information on how these systems work, I believe they are used in F3? I need to know how the arrangement of the washers work and what springs I should expect to use on the vehicle i.e 600Lbs?

Any help would be appreciated.

JP
