Help Identify "Locost" lower wishbone
Afternoon all,
I need some help to track down a replacement front lower wishbone for my locost kit.
I have removed the old wishbone and measured the distance across the inboard bush tubes as 350mm (outside edge)
The books says 343mm and I have bought some rally design wishbones that measure 340mm
Does anyone know of any locost variant that ran the 350mm width? I thought I had a Stuart Taylor chassis but Aries tell me their wishbones are
340mm

And another.
See pic below, for comparison :-
Old_Style_Wbones
On the left - Luego (I think); on the right - early Martin Keenan, for Locost-style chassis.
I replaced the wishbones, after reading the extensive thread about possible failures. I got some oval tube versions from MK.

Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

That's the one.
He was still running MK Sportscars when I bought my MK Indy kit. Very helpful!
