very nice do gts do the wishbone suspension as well

flak monkey - 9/5/07 at 08:20 PM

GTS only do the de dion at the back, no IRS I am afraid. Front is wishbones as usual though, to suit either cortina or sierra uprights, narrow or wide track.

ive been having this doubt ive been wanting to clear... last summer i tried to make my own de-dion axle, and i had great difficulty in making the hub adapter, so i just used the original ones, i.e. i cut the ones from the sierra arms.

is that ok? welding went fine on them... no need to make hub adapters, jus use the ones from the sierra!

what do you thinK?

might be a time saver for those building their axle...
