Gasser Front Axles

[kingsburgphil]

Anyone got a picture of the old CommonWealth VW gasser?  I recall hearing that it had a straight axle arc welded directly to the frame head...no suspension
at all.  Hopefully, it was just an ugly rumor

Thanks Udo,
yes i would not do this to my own car.
I am helping to restore an old car that had one of these
and am looking to make it a little safer without spoiling the authenticity.
A quick look at the geometry of these old things tells me it will be difficult to stop the bump steer!
