Sierra Wishbones & Chassis bracket positions

HI,
I've done a few searches on here & can't really find the answer I'm looking for. Does anyone have the drawings for Sierra Wishbones & Chassis bracket positions when using Sierra uprights?

This is what I've got at the moment, I want to check the wishbone dimensions







Cheers

What kit are you building?
I would look at Haynes Roadster book as a starter

It's not strictly a Locost but it's got a 5 link Ford rear end & wishbone front



I'll search out the Haynes book

Haynes geo still applies or get the data on Sierra hubs and replicate camber and caster

If your brackets are wide enough you can pack top and bottom wishbones for caster, you already have camber adjustment on the top ball joint

I think I've found all the info I need.



Will need to check my chassis to see if it is anywhere near those dimensions & can be altered.

I'm going to be running 16" wheels on the project, so will need to alter it to suit those anyway.
