I think cutting off the outriggers does'nt matter as it are no structural pieces of the chassis,the lomax and le Patron has also cut off the outriggers and there was no problem,even not overhere.........
With the Cordite and miglia's are the outriggers also cut off as i recall?
By using the original suspension arm in the one wheel configuration you need a torsion bar that's connected to the other suspension arm so the suspension of both arms is used.
