New Axle and Suspension Experiment

I will need longer axles for the adjustable pillow blocks. The bearing centres are quite long. So I have put 75mm wheels on the standard sized axles with a simple suspension of 15mm pillow blocks, coil die springs and 1/4" bolts. This is for a small driving car... a 1 1/2 seater. It will have a simple rectangular frame of mild steel angle or RHS. We will see how we go...
There is not enough ground clearance with the smaller wheels so the pillow block will be inverted, mounting flanges on top...
