Really Greg ? Neither of the T50's that I restored had this nor did any that I examined during the rebuilds....They did use american "snubbers" which seemed only to slow the drop of the axle using leather straps.

Well maybe not every Type 50, but some. They were also fitted to a lot of Type 57's.
If I had the intelligence to upload photos, I would show you some.

Well, I guess lazarus has not been restoring the proper cars. Via Herman I show another picture of this device on a T50.

As you should have gathered I was talking about the rear not the front.In any event,neither of the T50s that I restored had kick shackles fitted.Bugatti tried several different set ups for the front axle mounting.This also included two different front spring types.

if the right hand spring hanger has this shock damper , must the left side be the same ?

No, its only on the steering wheel side.

OK,
Greg , what is the diameter of the engine carrier , where it is mounted to the chassis with 2 bolts ? I think it must be 60mm ?

I see , this question was to difficult , yes ?

if the spring hanger with the shock damper is only at the steering wheel side , how is it possible that I got today a left hand one ?

Don't know Udo- I can only think it was from one of those rare left hand drive Royales.

But of course equipped with that ninth carburettor!

Is it a Bugatti item?

All I can think of is that it is either non-Bugatti, or that we still do not know everything about Bugatti's ventures in those days.

Am watching this thread closely. Play nice.
