    Default Changing from zero roll back to coil springs at each corner

    I've seen Lynx B and Caldwell D13 changed to zero roll from their original design. What would be the level of difficulty changing them back for vintage rules? Is there some chassis welding to replace brackets etc? Thanks

    I'm pretty sure backdating a D13 is rather simple, just need the dual spring shock setup with fulcrum arms and horizontal links.

    A Lynx B is simple if no one has cut off the orgianl frame shock mounts. The Zero Roll set up was a simple bolt on easy to remove.
    You will need a Z Bar and I have a brand new one from Fred Clark if your interested.

    I believe Dietmar at Quixote racing might have some D-13 rear suspension parts?

    Default Di3.

    Just remember the original D13 used a zero roll rear suspension just with 2 shocks and one push rod instead of 2 pushrods and one shock.
