I'm building a LoCost but is it worth getting the Haynes Roadster book?

There seem to be a lot of people supplying parts for the Haynes Roadster.

I don't really know how similar this is to the LoCost and was considering buying the Haynes book to see if I could use such items as the Haynes diff mounting brackets, lower wishbone plates, pedal box etc.

Any comments.

John.

I bought it to suss out which I wanted to build and in the end stole ideas from both.

The brackets as far as I know are the same. Diff mounts are only applicable if you fit IRS to the locost or build a roadster. Im using haynes pedal box parts for my locost. 3GE Components make a lot of the bits and pieces.
