Oui, monsieur! I will have plenty tonight. Don't have them on this computer. I have a fairly unique arrangement in that area of my car, but I have a ton of pics because I was so confused at the beginning of my build.

I take it you've gone through all the Aussie pics Liam?

Sorry to hijack the thread,
But anyone know the wheel track, or hub/brake face to hub/brake face dimension on one of these rear setups?
Might graft one into my Mini.
Cheers

There are 3 or 4 build diaries of car's built in Australia with MX5's. One of the particularly good ones is the guy that is in a wheelchair...
One of them links to a couple of the others though, so a search for "Locost MX5" in google should have you going that way and then keep looking from there!

Thanks guys for the links but I was specifically looking for pics where the rear sub frame was not used, only the running gear

I haven't forgotten getting some pics, Liam, but hockey playoffs are on, so less time at night in front of the computer.

MX-5 based Westfield build should have some ideas as well

here is one and the other to follow. One shot is from below. You can see the way the front part of the diff carrier attaches to the frame.
