chassis front width
dmottaway - 10/3/03 at 04:02 PM

when building a book chassis, can somebody tell me how far apart the suspension brackets are?

Not the width of the wish bones, but the distance between the centers of the bolt holes of the top brackets (left and right) and then the same measurement for the bottoms. To clarify one step farther, if you put a rod through both top brackets on one side and another rod through both brackets on the other side, how far apart would the two rods be?

And the two rods should be parallel to the center line of the chassis, shouldn't they?

thanx

I have done a small CAD of dimensions using the actual brackets i bought.
I cannot attach till l8r so have put it in my photo section for now.

They are different from the above dimensions however the bracket hole centres are 27mm from the base of the bracket.

Cheers.
