I have, but it would take a lot to explain everything. You need a decent suspension design book to start with as there are lots of things to
consider.

As I said, measurements are useless unless you are building the exact same car. For example, my steering rack runs parallel to my top wishbones to
prevent bump steer whereas the 7 rack is something like a third of the way up from the bottom of the bones.
My hubs are all rover 214 with drive shaft stubs cut down to act as axles.
My castor angles are 7 degrees and I have kpi built into the hubs.
You will also need to make sure that your wishbones are the correct length and your suspension pick up points are in the correct place so that you
get camber gain and loss depending on body roll.
There is too much to tell you, so you will need to get a book and read it so that you can combine everything related to your setup.

I'm working on some atm. Have made steel ones but weigh in a little heavy and so am going to do ally ones.
Some CAD pics on website
Theres even some dims on there.
They are based on lightened sierra hubs.
My advice if your using rose joints is make them double shear.
Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Cheers
