At such a distance the best I can do is measure them for you and only when I bring my kit back to the workshop.

I'd be keen to see these measurements too. If anyone has a drawing of a Westfield chassis that would be even better still.

I would measure the components you have, then play around with http://www.vsusp.com/ to find an arrangement that works. If you would like any help or
advice then feel free to ask. I wouldn't assume that the westfield arrangement is the only or best way to do it.

ha ha, funnily enough, ive been playing with a couple of progs, not that one to be fair, but wanted to plot the westfield 'standard'
geometry as a datum and then see where the tweaks take me. Im using differing length driveshafts to Ford OEM (not sure what lengths westy ones are,
assume not as long as std sierra?) so the pick up points will be different anyway.
thanks for the offer of help with the suspension programmes though, much appreciated  , I have always developed handling the old skool method
(seat o' the pants), but id like to get this build somewhere near out of the box and not find im having to lop off mounts after 2 or 3 events
