A completely new engine/gearbox cradle, front suspension assembly as well as front and rear brake hubs were required.
Most of the parts were 3D printed from CAD drawings that I created.

Although these pictures don't show it, the model incorporates rack and pinion steering, a feature which was introduced in May 1936. A consequence of that change was that the front shock absorbers were moved to the front of the cradle.
Torsion bars, running back from the cradle, are part of the independent front suspension. They are anchored by a cross-beam attached to the sides of the engine bay.
