I have to design/fabricate wishbones to fit the front uprights - here's a picture of the fronts. The problem is there is no pivot point at the top. Obviously the remains of the strut will have to be cut down. I was thinkoing of welding a thick plate on the top that extends an inch and a half rearwards, with a hole drilled through in a position to match the lower pivot point. I would mount a ball joint through this hole and onto the end of a wishbone. The outer end of the wishbones would have to be offset rearwards to compensate for the steering pivot points being rearwards of the hub centre. Any input here would be greatfully recieved!
And here is the rear axle assembly: I haven't quite worked out exactly how to mount this onto the rear of the chassis, but needless to say the main carrier assembly will go as it's far to heavy. I want to mount the trailing arms directly to the chassis but i'll probably make the front of the chassis and then offer the assembly up to the rear and work it out from there. Then if it's clear it can't be used then I can revert to the standard design and use sierra parts.
