I am making the wishbones and I realize that Mr. Jim's book (second edition)gives the dimensions of front bottom wishbone wrong as mentioned into attached fig. So which is the correct dimension between bushes?

The same problem found for rear top wishbone(on page 77 Drag 6.9b).When I calculate the space between rose joints holes by given data i found 60+32+100+32+80=304mm -25.4=278.6mm but he gives 280 mm

Thanks

just make them to the specified outside dimensionns of the bushes then bolt on the u brackets before you tack them on to the chassis that way they are sure to fit.
My chassis is now complete no thanks to the book!

I will measure within few days and let you know.

I'm sorry, but you will find more and more.

Than someday you will throw the book in a corner.

definitly wrong:
Drg 6.6a wrong measurements
Drg 6.4 looks like the 90 degr is at toprail but has to be at the lower or you will have zero caster!! (it compensate the 5.30 degr!)

So I used it for the idea, but now there is less AVON and more and more my insperation found in the frame.

Hey T.J. ,
I was looking at you (?) on your avatar, it is nice to put a face on the name.

It is "Dirk"; was a figure in in TV-serie "van kooten en de Bie"

Dirk was the drunk

May I use your avatar in a italian forum ? It is too funny

It's not mine, so you can use it freely!

Although a paid for holiday in Italia would be great

Btw: did you measured the wishbone for the bloke or what?

Greetings from sunny Netherlands

I can't measure it perfectly becouse it is already fitted, but seems to be 334 mm. However if you are building it and brachet, I think you should follow T.J advice. And also, bracket did not "meet" wishbone perfectly, so again follow T.J. advice.
T.J. I can't pay you a holiday but if you will came near Venice I will be happy to pay a Pizza

Hmmm like Pizza

Next year maybe. We're just back from southern France. (Montpellier)

So my wallet is very empty now
And also a wheel bearing on my Audi A4 which cost my 180 Euro! Why don't they just make simple bearings anymore?

Thanks Rudy
