Very nice! BTW, the 'ingenious way to center the rear spring' is actually an ingenious way to allow corner weighting the car. Corner weighting with coil springs is realtively straightforward, but what do you do if you are stuck with a transverse leaf? Figure out a way to accurately 'slide' the spring one way or the other, while retaining all of the stock mounting hardware to comply with the rulebook. Tech inspector: "What's that dingus on top of the rear spring?" Lanky: "Oh that? the hole was sloppy, so we put that bracket and those screws to hold the spring 'in the stock location', like the rulebook says".
This, back when 'corner weighting' was not a phrase commonly heard in SCCA pits.
