WORK IN PROGRESS , Im still printing and tweaking
So a bit bout WHY? The suspension block is not partilarly hard to get or especially expensive. However Whilst I LOVE my brompton I dont partiularly like the company or how its ran.
They appear to deliberetly use non standard parts to force people into buying from them, refuse to sell some parts direct unless fitted by a "authorised dealer" and go after people who make similar or even better products, They have sat on a 1979 Patent (which has actually now expired) and made not much innovation.
None of this is illegal or wrong I should point out , I just dont agree with it.
Which is why Im on a quest to replace as much of my brompton as possible with non OEM parts. Even if it means spending more money and a ridiculous amount of time making my own :P
Hence designing my own suspension Block.
This is not a direct Copy of the OEM part Ive based my Dimensions off where it needs to fit adding and subtracting where it seems approp
