MGP W01‘s pushrod and upright

Post

To continue the last topic about "How is the front suspension's pushrod connected to upright? ".

By chance, I got the three pictures of MGP's suspend view, which can show some details of the front suspension and upright, but not clear and sufficient enough.

Is anyone here who has more pictures of it?



Image
There is a little device at the end of lower A arm, which seems can be connected to the pushrod.






Image
Here we can also see the thing at the end of the A arm.

It is also the detail of the end of the A arm.

this is a picture of the upright

It seems can't be two join points of links below the front axle.

So...........

I think, the Lotus T127 should has two there.

I can't really see very much on those pictures. Has anybody been there or wants to go and can take some really close up pictures?

Anyway I think it’s secure to say that this car had the pushrod mounted to the lower a-arm.

See the front wing, see the underbody, see the sidepods. Unless this is some 'unseen footage' of the W01 and was never raced that means it isnt the W01 and a 2001-2002 BAR

Well, yes. They were posted here four or five years ago. They were taken by a member at some museum in London (I'm not making this up).

You guys totally miss the point of this topic.
It's about the upright design, nobody cares which car this actually was.

Did MGP cheat us by repainting the old BAR?
