Long wishbone mounting position.
Hi all,
So far the build is pretty much to book at the front apart from wide wishbones (50mm-ish) bought
from Matt at Casarva who also supplied the mounting brackets. Reason for going wide is to match the
track to the Sierra based De-Dion rear.
So, when positioning the top bone brackets should I raise them by "X" to compensate for the
extra length and bump camber change ets, or is the difference unlikely to be notice by a mere mortal as
myself 
Also, I assume the bones aren't parallel, top one is higher at balljoint end and lower one parallel to floor
at "standard" ride height ( if there is such a thing).

Parallel with the chassis is the safe way, the trickery of anti dive is for the higher echelons I recon.
Mine are now nice and wide, its does make a difference.
Most important is the 5 – 7 degrees caster, ie top bone ½ inch behind the bottom when viewed from above.
Bones are not parallel when viewed from the front.
Also suggest you check the droop with the shock in place as this will be at a steeper angle and will need to grow by 2"

Hi there. I would contact the supplier of the wishbones. They should be able to answer your queries.
A properly designed "wide track kit" ought to fit standard mounts. That is certainly the case with the Westfield wide set up.
