I've started assembling the leaf springs...I did an earlier test build which proved the design.
The small details need to be tweaked, as does the paint colour and edge colouring.





With all the updates in place, I've started printing and cutting parts for the final Leaf springs...

Each "leaf" is a folded construction, and all will be stacked and glued at the center.
Then I will manually curve the entire Spring to a predetermined height.
I think there will be plenty of room for play, but it will be important to match the shape of right and left springs precisely.

I'll probably include a template for the spring shape and curve.

You can also see in this photo, the rear Differential/Axle assembly.
I think thats a go too!
