Hi femster.

I'm building a +442 and fabricated my own wishbones. Using a Live axle (52" ).

My wishbones, unfortunately are around 20mm too short because I'm a numpty and made my jigs wrong

Still, not too much of an issue, just means the rear might be a little more lively than if I'd done them right.

There are a few piccies/ideas around on t'internet and here if you search. I found a fair bit of useful advice.

If I can help at all I will try.

JB

here you go.

Mines a 442 and I just made standard book bones for the front ( can't help with the rear sorry as I'm a live axle) the front track is narrower than the rear but hey it still goes and is fun regardless.
there are issues with the pick up points for the front bones though I'd need to check my build notes but there are some pics in my archive I think.
Ask if you need any more info mate.

thanks, i would def ask for pictures soon (omega) when i gets there. Might get the GTS wishbones for the w7de though
