which seems to have quite a lot ofinfo on this site... Sean

Depending on what you might find elsewhere, a potential source is the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Journal. Obviously, they are

*not* in the business of responding to the needs of the general population, but if you hit up your local library they may have (a big one) or have system access to (average size) the journal. Most libraries today do have the computer access to a host of technical publications and, often, actually have the articles on-line.
