You can use a full size one with a few mods to the back of the transmision tunnel. Will give a wider track

Hi the only disavantage of the baby atlas is its weight it is almost 50% more than the english witch means that you find it verry hard to get a spring and damper combo to get a desent ride quality. The best place for a baby atlas is in the back of a escort rally car and people will pay good money for them. Stick to the english as you can get a good spring and damper combo to give a verry good quality ride on the road and track.

English track width is 51-52" depending on wheels fitted.

cheers matt
