Angle/height of lower upright mount
I'm currently CADing my inboard-suspension'ed haynes roadster and am at a point where I'm fixing the rocker hard points, but
I'm struggling to find any details of the orientation of the front and rear wishbones at standard ride-height (which incidentally is what?)
So, I'm after the following dims:
1) Standard ride height - front/rear (which tyres are assumed?)
2) Angle of front wishbone to horizontal (OR height of lower balljoint from ground level)
3) Angle of rear wishbone to horizontal (OR height of lower bush centre on rear upright from ground level)
I'm sure someone here will be able to dig these out for me! Cheers

If I remember correctly the front ride height is 5" from chassis to floor, so rear will be, say, 5.5". I assume that you have the hubs on
the wishbones and centre of hub to floor will be 11.5" to 11.75" depending on which size of tyre you fit. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Cheers Chippy, that gives me a good starting point!
Don't suppose you know the angle of the lower wishbones at ride height? Are they supposed to be pretty much horizontal?

Yes pretty much, with maybe a very slight upward tilt, hub to chassis. HTH Ray
