Just curious of the status of your four link rear suspension. Any idea of price and/or availability? It looked like a neat setup and I've been checking your site now and then for info.
Bill Guzman, any update on 4-link?

I'm also curious. I just pick up a hawk front crossmember and a 4-link rear end would go nice with that.
We've planned a big feature story on Bill's 4-link for the December issue of The British V8 Newsletter. The preliminary photos I've seen are quite impressive.
Thank you Curtis.
The 4 link is on production and it will available Dec Jan time frame. As for cost, it will be determine by the cost of the fabrication.
Well having JUST visited Bill last Saturday I can say that it looks really nice up close too ;-) It looks like the design is pretty close to being done and a few manufacturing items are being refined but the system he showed me looked solid. I've decided to hold off on designing my rear suspension until his is complete as it looks like it'll do everything I was after, but without me having to figure it all out ;-)
He has some interesting items in the works and I can't wait!!!!
I saw my pretty new hubs and brake components while I was there and had a nice ride in his B, sweet. Runs nice and handles pretty good. Hard to know what parts are where as I think each of his cars has some experimental parts sitting in, on or under; he definitely tries everything out before he markets it.
One last thing. Everything I looked at (well everything he showed me) is first class, well considered and is designed for the enthusiast (even those unlike me who don't know how to weld). Quite a bit of thought goes into making his parts so you don't need to be an engineer or a welder to make them work. Every time I came up with an idea / enhancement he pointed out where the average person could have problems implementing it.
One heck of a nice guy who spends the time thinking out how to make stuff easy for the average mechanic. Nothing I saw there was rushed or slapped together. Sorry I can't tell you about some of the stuff he is working on but I can't wait for them to be completed. whow!
Bill, thank you for your kind words. Thank you for driving 4 hours just to visit us, really appreciated. How was your trip to Death Valley?
Bill drove from Fresno to Camarillo 3-4 hrs spend about 4-5 hrs had dinner with us, then around 8 pm he drove to Death Valley another 4 hrs, then back to Fresno, that is driving. Then flew home to MN.
I would love to post some pictures, but, I promise Curtis that I would let him do it on the news letter. Prize depends on the cost of the manufacturing and coil overs. I worked a deal with the coil overs so the prize of them is a bit less, savings to whom ever buys the kit.
The 4 link is a bolt on, the brakets that fit the axle housing have to be welded.
The 4 link will fit the stock MGB axle, Chevy and Ford. Pinion angle is adjustable plus other adjustments.
It took over 18 months and about 22 sets to come up with the right brackets to come up with this kit, reason, to get the correct geometry, installation and manufacturing to keep the cost down without comprimising quality etc.
The kit is about 40 lb lighter, I will make sure of the correct weight savings.
Your frontend kit looks superb, we're all fortunate to have people of your talent and dedication working on the problem.
