shown on SRL701.

BRE Squirrellies, a Mac Tilton design (BRE crew member), manufactured by
Hollywood Spring & Coil. (BRE offered these to other Datsun Roadster race
teams on the West Coast).
-----------------------

In order to get more rubber via wider tires, these springs were formed with
cutouts to clear the tire. By the way, Hollywood Spring and Coil is still in
business. A asked the old timer there if he remembers these springs and he
told me that in the 60's and 70s they did allot of "specials" for race teams
and can't remember that one in particular.
