There are a number of CAD packages in the marketplace.
The more well known ones are AutoCAD , Solidworks , TurboCAD etc.
Is there a preference for one over any other?
Is this just the choice of the individual user?

Conventional shock absorbers are typically 4 to 5 times longer than the springs they are intended to control.
My own car for example has shock absorbers around 20 inches long where the spring height is about 5 inches.
Any thoughts?

Does anyone have any information of the different levels of exhaust emissions for the same engine running on the two different fuels mentioned?
Is it 5% , 50% someother number?
So far as I can find there is a reduction when running on LPG but the amount of decrease is not stated.
Thanks, Pete.
Many years ago Citroen produced carbon fibre road wheels for their rally programme. The car was the SM.
Given the advances in materials of this nature in the meantime it surprises me no one markets wheels of this material now.
Any thoughts and / or opinions?
Pete.
Can anyone suggest any books on repairing and restoring automotive instruments?

Thanks, Pete.
