Rear suspension components hang off a square-section subframe encircling the transmission, with the driveshafts poking through a hole in the subframe.
Pictures show the transmission attached to the engine, but not yet glued. Upper links only get put in once the whole thing is glued to the central tub. So there is some room for fiddling to ensure it all sits straight.

Front suspension included the opportunity to use some clear tubing, pushed over 0.5 mm brass tube, to model the piping from brake fluid bottles to the master cylinders. First time I've done this; the hose at 1 mm (1" at full scale) is large but will do for a first time. Future attempts will use 0.013" clear fishing wire.
Now the trick will be to get it all to line up!
Stay tuned.
