P.S. This has been covered loads, just have a look though the past few weeks posts. But start by getting an accurate chassis plan from:

The biggest problem is the fact that the wishbones are incorrect, so the castor angle is difficult to achieve without positioning the brackets in thin air.The top one needs at least an extra 10mm of offset.
The other dimensions are a bit variable but if you cut and fit each tube as you go then there is no problem making it all fit.

The dimensions for trailing arm brackets are not consistent. the book gives 2 dimensions. Depending on what dimension you chose to use it alters the nominal height of the rear axle.
