Early Brabham suspension parts source?
Can anybody advise me on where to source ( original / replica / repro ) suspension parts for early Brabhams?
I've been tasked with sourcing some parts for a sports racing car that's being rebuilt / recommissioned abroad, and the car - whilst not actually having been built by Brabham - used some early Brabham parts. The suspension is apparently all BT8. Was the BT8 type suspension used on other early Brabhams, and does anyone make anything for them? Cheers! Alan T. |

I've got in touch with Peter Denty, and I'm very hopeful that we can get hold of the parts required.
Many thanks for the help. |

Contact Matthew Watts at Retro Track and Air at :-
Upthorpe Iron Works, Upthorpe Lane Cam Dursley Glos GL11 5HP Tel. 01 453 519 391 Mob. 07713155304. I rebuilt my BT21A twice. One shunt required 40% of the chassis frame and two corners including cast uprights etc. replacing. using components made by Retro.
