These are my fave racing cars, and they must be great fun to drive. I believe the leaves are separated to help prevent the axle twisting under torsional load. Does away with the need for torque arms.

That would make sense about the springs and hopefully they will help with the handling:P There is a reply on the gr5 zakspeed thread that shows some pages from a magazine when bell test drove the escorts and it gives a good technical spec list of both grp2 and grp5 cars but it is too unreadable to understand the grp2 spec so i'm trying to find out what magazine it was from so i might be able to get a copy and read the info
![]() Going for the oldfordautos bodykit, once i have that, the shell will be going to Gartrak to get the tubs and rollcage sorted. We did contemplate doing them ourselves but we want to get the car FIA approved so think Gartrak will get it right for the FIA approval. Original Hubs and wheels have been sorced thanks to zakspeed65 so Getting closer to keeping the original spec. Will post more once it has returned from Gartrak and the bodyshop for a lick of paint ![]() |

Think you need to pm the poster for that info- can't identify it.
Well done on the hubs and wheels! |

Hi All,
The rear set up on Zakspeed Gp2 cars was 4 link and watts linkage, the Original Spring (1 leaf) was still there and served no purpose except to comply with the regulations. Ford and Zakspeed were very clever at working around the rules. Look forward to the updates. Cheers. |

Hope you don't mind me pointing out, but there was a period when Gp2 didn't allow extra links and if you look at the pics of Mk2s earler in thread they show this. (It was 1976 / 77) Regards, Mike Last edited by Mike Bell; 10 Feb 2010 at 06:05. Reason: grammar |

Wasn't that '76 to 83? Which was why the Capri became uncompetitve against the BMWs and thus Zakspeed went Grp5/DTM.
