I don't recall there being a front suspension drawing where i got this drawing. If there was one I prob would have downloaded it aswell.
I think the drawing was by alex davenport (OZ), hence the filename ALEXD, I might be wrong on the author though. You could just use the standard book drawings.

well the file I have does give the arms length and such so i guess I am off to compare with other drawings.

I wann aget the chassis maybe welded up this summer along with the arms then figure out what motor I am putting in. I have a 2.3L turbo but it is a large and heavy engine. I might be doing a inline six ford with a alloy head from OZ if this one guy gets it working in his 7. then I get a 3.3L inline six that weights in close to 300# pair it up with my old 3spd tranny and I will have a pretty lite car.

Hi, Just a thought.
Be careful welding up that chassis beore you decide on the drive train.
I found that got me into trouble.
