Sorry for the late response, I have been out of the country for the last
couple of weeks
Actually the design was very good but complex and costly (actually slightly
better than the swing spring)- albiet a beast to repair. The simple reason
that it was not used later on either or both cars was cost -
I converted my Spitfire to the roto flex WITH a swing spring and have never
regretted it!
