McSorely +442 sierra donor
hello,
If anyone remembers my previous posts about a BMW locost then you will recall I was trying to figure out what type of suspension setup to use.
I've now figured out that it would not be possible to use the uprights from my BMW and have set my mind on sourcing some sierra uprights for my
build. Also using Rorty's IRS design for the rear (as I believe this design is for seirra donor parts?).
I am using the McSorely+442 chassis design and was just wondering if anyone else had used this larger chassis with sierra uprights and if they had
plans for the modified wishbones, as this would greatly help in my attempt to finally start putting things together.
Thanks very much

If you are sourcing uprights then Cortina would be a much better choice.
No plugs to fill the Strut hole, plenty of choice of brakes and lighter.
Downside, probally best part of £75 from Ebay.

yeah, I've been looking for cortina parts on ebay for a while now and they do seem expensive for what they are and I'm working to a bit
of a budget. I just thought that as I am going to use sierra parts for the rear end then it'd probably be a good idea to use sierra uprights
too. Just wondering if anyone had done this already and had the dimensions for the front wishbones for the McSorley chassis.
Thanks very much
