In reply to Graefin10:
In this picture on the left edge it looks like a traditional semi eliptical spring. I think my last 10 speed used the same brake cable

It's not obvious to me how the front suspension works. Where are the springs? Where and how does it mount? I see that it has adjustable friction shocks, which from what I've read actually worked pretty good . . . for a while anyway. I get a feeling that Ettore was of the same mindset as Colin Chapman. I THINK it must use quarter elliptical front springs that are contained inside sheet metal to contain grease and keep out water and dirt.
According to Bugatti's website, http://www.bugatti.com/en/tradition/bugatti-models/t35.html, it has a semi-elliptical sprung live axle.

About that brake cable: Ettore is alleged to have stated that he made his cars to GO, not STOP.
