Wide-track wishbones

Think I've seen this posted before, but can't find it.

Does anyone have plans to make wichbones to suit the Sierras track width? Would like to have a go before buying them pre-fab.

Cheers guys.

that was a thought that'd crossed my mind, but it's all practice and I think I need it.

No vested interest there

Go on - how much?

correct steel

How say whats correct? As far as I'm concerned the advantages of seamless tubes are wasted if you weld them and instead of high grade steel you can use a larger section of a lower grade steel.
