Regarding de Dion tubes flexing under load. I modified a GTV6 and my Lemons Milano tubes in nearly the same way you did in this thread. I rehearsed the Milano modification on a spare GTV6 assembly. Using a longacre digital camber gauge the static unloaded negative camber I set the tube for (-2.0*) After installing the assembly it changed to between _2.1* and -2.2* (-.15*)This was strictly with the corner weight on the tire. I was a little concerned with this so I loaded about 800 pounds into the trunk while measuring the change in camber. It had virtually no change. Firmed up to -2.2* , reality check here remember we are talking tenths and hundreds of a degree here.

Cornering loads are huge so maybe my testing is a little weak, but cornering loads are also vector loads on the deDion so the load path is neither vertical or horizontal. And then there are torsional loads which my testing completly ignored.

That being said given the opportunity I would add stiffening to the deDion tubes, they are pretty strong but extremley thin.

Adjustable Camber, wow, . I thought I remember somewhere on the BB there are some pictures of this?

What do you think about a truss like reinforcement?

Any pictures or info besides urban legends of a deDion tube failing?

Some friends think I would have been better off with -1.5" camber in the rear of the Milano. But the car did really well at Nelson Ledges in Ohio. The change in grip was very noticable.
