Wishbones Again!!

Hi all newbie here!!

Ok i have been researching building a locust for a while now and have come against the usual question, dimensions of the wishbones, mainly rear?? I have plenty of time to resolve as not due to start until next year.

I have got the latest Chris Gibbs book, set of the Saturn and Voodoo plans and think the right combination will be the main chassis from Chris Gibbs with the Voodoo chassis and rear diff cage upgrades but with the Saturn wishbones. This is all to take a MX5 mk2 or 2.5 1.8 VVT donor.

I have seen a few other diagrams for the missing key dimensions but when i work them out they don't appear right even though they are supposed to be based on the MX5 running gear.

Has anyone done the above and could take a tape measure to the rear of their car to help solve this? Or have i missing a key post somewhere that clears this up?

Any help welcome.

Many thanks.

Ian

If your building a Chris Gibbs car, its a LOCOST
If your building a wooden car (and im being serious) its a LOCUST

I have no idea on either car as one is a complete ripp off, and the other you can set fire to ..................





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Well I never knew that but it'll be a LOCOST.

In any case I think I've found what I need in other posts.
