suspension
Can anyone help making some wishbones up for a car im making want to use caterham front hub assemblys,as far as i can tell they look like Triumph
spitfire GT6 uprights,can anyone confirm this or put me right ?Alsowhat top and bottom ball joint do they use. Originally on the spitfires it was a
trunnion kit they used for the bottom balljoint ,but caterham dont use this any more,also do they use a different stub axle than the Triumph as i
believe the Triumph has a bolt in stub axle,the caterham has a Ford wheel pcd,so are they using say an escort stub axle and hub and brake assembly?
If anyone out there Knows please let me Know and put me out of my misery.
Also does anyone Know where i can get new ones from direct from the supplier who makes them.
Thanks Simon.

Don't pannic -- Caterham currently use an upright based on but not identical to the GT6 part --- I think it was never strickly speaking the
GT6 part anyway.
They use a spherical bearing at the bottom which will require the wishbone to have a machined housing made on a lathe to accept it.
I am pretty sure they are using a specially made hub to the triumph pattern but with a 4.25"x4 pcd to match the Ford rear.
