yes chain driven i want the flexibility of being able to easily change ratio's as i will probably run some top speed events along side my
busa.
id just sooner buy some proven uprights than try and design my own as i have so much else to design and fabricate

And if you go down the route of making Haynes Roadster uprights I believe I have a spare set of the flat plates which wouldn't cost you much,
I'd just need to check the garage. You'll just need the round tubes.

fair point about the ratios. I guess you could use any kit manufacturers rear sierra uprights and possibly wishbones too providing you have
clearance. Usual suspects, MK MNR etc
Also 3GE from here
They sell upright kits and fully welded too.

Another possibility is Westfield alloy rear uprights.
Not exactly a locost solution but they are nice.

I made my own based on the Avon geometry but open style design rather than a box design and look nicer IMHO
