I'd be quite interested to see this actually, see how it differs to the set up they used on the old RS2000 F2 cars!

The S1600 Fiesta and Puma just had thicker rear beam with a wider track, you must be thinking of different series or car? The Focus has independant rears called 'blade'

If you dont have any luck finding pics It might be worth sending Birkbeck an email see if they can send you some pics

I know he's stopped doing them as they are time consuming to make

Edit: He said it was a copy of the S1600.

Those are not proper S1600 beams.

Perfect cheers for the pics mate

Neil@FastFord

Cool thread!

Was gonna mention about the A.L.D ones, shame he doesn't do them, was thinking about them recent...sure we have pics somewhere mate.

I think i'm gonna keep it simple and strengthen a normal style beam, i'll mail you tomorrow you big puff.

Look like they would be fairly simple for the likes of AG or MK Motorsport to make.

Learn something new every day!...


I never even new about the s1600 before today
Especially considering how trick alot of the parts are.

Chat tomorrow then hunny

I agree would not be that difficult to replicate at all!..

I am intrigued to see what is under the rubber boot on the last beam some form of bearing/sleeve I presume.

Not looking at changing my rear beam as yet but this does look like its possible and at not alot of expense or hassle.

heres a pic on the full rear beam

pumaspeed or racing (one in birmingham) had a puma s1600 beam for sale about 12 months ago but didnt have the cash spare at the time as i was seriously looking into getting this onto my mk3 at the time and it wasnt alot of work to get it fitted!!!

good luck trying to find another one though

Luke have you looked into this any more mate?

if i was going to make a new setup for a rear of a fiesta, i know it wouldnt look like that, i know its a step in the right direction being independent but it still traveling in a arc, so controlling geometry under compression would be strange
