I think he means the shocks lean inwards to the centre of the car but are vertical longditudinally (good scrabble word!). To get the right amount of
castor (I made it 22mm) I had to make the wishbones curved and offset.

right, but im not sure of the implications of having too much.
Cosworth Sierra caster is 1º30'±0º30'. Don't know about normal Sierra.

Both my front and rear upper wishbones are not symetrical, and i have come up with a different way of adjusting castor.
there are pics in my archive.

Very nice and cleverly made wishbones.
BTW I notice they are bigger than Avon's: did in increase the fr track? To how many mm? And the rear track?

Viper,
I like those wishbones. Did you get the idea for shimmed ones from the XJ6?
Cheers,
Neil.
