This is our MARK FOUR B Open Sports Racing Car -- a super light design well-suited for modified racing in the smaller classes. We spent a lot of time working out all the little details on suspension, chassis design, body shape, seating, visibility, and all the other things that go into designing a bit of racing machinery. It has an extremely rigid mild steel tubing frame (heli-arc welded), stressed skin floor pan, semi-structural rocker panels. Suspension design with low roll centers provides sure-footed cornering. Front suspension is fully independent with Triumph uprights. Rear suspension is fully independent with alloy uprights, disc brakes, and magnesium wheels. Steering is rack and pinion with adjustable column and vinyl covered wheel (12" or 13") . Cooling is via front mounted radiator fed by aluminum water tubes to and from rear. The molded glass Fiber body, with its compound curved wind screen, hinges open for easy maintenance and that ever-lovin' tech inspector. Seat shells are gloss Fiber with vinyl coated foam lined covers. Dual master cylinders feed Airheart calipers with balance bar and cable control for hand brake. The engine mounts are a universal type so it shouldn't be hard to fit yours in. Either a Fiat or Volkswagen transmission can be fitted. Clutch actuation is hydraulic. You can order the MARK FOUR B any way you want: with or without engine or transmission. In fact, we will even install your combination for you. And, for those of you who don't mind staying up late at night, there's the kit form.
