Winkelmann/Palliser questions...
Hello Chaps,
Was looking for a bit of informational help here. I'm attempting to help re-assemble the rear suspension (it came in boxes) for a 1970 WDF2. I was wondering if the rear vertical links were production items or specific to these cars. (I think I have found out that these are custom pieces made from Magnesium, if this is wrong, please let me know.) The second question concerns the rear brake rotors. Are they custom as well or from a production car. The front suspension is Triumph GT6 verticallinks with Spitfire Rotors. Thanks for any help. |

Steve Read, Bob Winkelman's nephew may be able to help. He can be contacted via the HRSR. Sorry if you know all that .

I have a pair of new Palliser uprights that I purchased this summer. Palliser provided wheels and uprights to Daren and they were fitted to my Mk2 sports racer. There was a guy at the Silverstone Classic who had a pair of brand new uprights sitting around and offered them to me. They are rarer than hen's teeth so I thought I better have them.

I have Palliser WD3/2-1, a formula 3 car. I think they are the same rear as yours.
Have you an e-mail, and I will send some close-ups. |

I know that Steve Read helped Bob Winkelman rebuild and race one last year at Brands Hatch .
