Rear suspension

Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction in my previous topic. I need a little more help. I am happy with the McSorley 442E chassis, and think I have got all I need with regard to the front suspension from the book, but there is only information and details for the live axle option.
Could anyone help with the info required for the wishbones etc so I can fit independent suspension on the rear of this chassis?
Thanks,
Tony

Get the Third Edition Haynes book (The Roadster one by Chris Gibbs) and this has all the IRS plans u need.

Just note that the Roadster is 2" narrower than your car so take care to get your wishbone brackets the correct distance apart/from the centreline.

Cheers,
James
