there are some good drawings in the new haynes manual. you would have to change a couple of dimensions due to your chassis being a slightly different size but that shouldnt be an issue.

Hi,
Please be careful with what you want to make.

Because it is a "locost" doesn't need to be a LOW Design.
So there is no way that you can pick this chassis with some front suspension and than pick this or that rear suspension.

It takes a lot of time to have a good definition of the suspensions so I would advise to walk a way that has the full definition of the car. Stick to that plan and once it drives adjust to your needs.

Chris Gibbs [Haynes publications] book will give you a neat result.
Always better than make combination's of suspensions.

It is not clear what you have, Ron Champion design or a "+4" as you sign.

Sorry if it sound negative but it is NOT.
