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
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

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.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I've seen the work Gts turns out and TBH it's quite good but you may want to do a search on GTS before parting with cash. I've not
had dealings with the guy and as said his quality is good so make your own judgements.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
