XprizeRoadTrip -- Thanks for the 'mid-course correction'.

I understand the issues that apply to the step-children of the BMC Mini. My benchmark is the 1964 VW Type III notchback sedan. It has stamped steel subframes front and rear, with 4 and 3 mounting points each.

As for your question, ask them at AIRKEWLD. In fact Google points to their CEO at https://twitter.com/Airkewld.

They might need the product! You can compare what Mendeola has offered in that market.

Listening to Oliver Kuttner (as I do repeatedly

) it sounds like there will be a lot of SEMA and aftermarkets involved, as well as the OEMs.
