Re: [TANKS] Re: Le progressJust back from a trip and saw your Leclerc with great interest. It sure saves lots of space for springs, and it does this sexy motion but....Let me get this straight. I am not sure my English helps understand "torsion bars" . In other words, do teh axles of every suspension rotate , sort of twist, like the hacksaw blades of your first generation suspension systems? They are rigidly fixed on one end, so they come back when there is not "twist pressure " on them?

You can find spring steel rods in the boot of the car. They are often used to hold up the rear lid( I think you might call it the trunk lid), they usually span across the width of the back with some bends in them at the ends and there is usually 2 of them and the general diameter of them would suit a heavier vehicle and I imagine they would be cheap as well. They are slightly thicker than what I am using but would suit something heavier.
