Re: [DML] Front sway bar progress

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

I would like photos & diagrams of the Ford Pinto front suspension. This may
sound totally unrelated to most of you, but it is mentioned frequently in
various media that the DeLorean front suspension looks like someone "raided
a Ford Pinto parts bin". This is a loose quote as I remember reading in the
book Grand Delusions.

I read in an old magazine that the DeLorean front lower control arm looked
like a lengthened version of the one used on the Pinto. So I am wondering
if anyone can say if the sway bar bushing is the same or similar to the one
used on the DeLorean.

If anyone has any photos, diagrams or reference material to any vehicle that
resembles the DeLorean front suspension, then please tell me about it. If
it is worth mailing to me, I will reimburse you postage & handling
accordingly.

I don't know of any local junkyards that have cars as old as the Pinto, and
it has been a long time since I have noticed one on the road. If anyone
knows of one in or near the Tampa Bay area that I can have a look at, let me
know.
