A brief update. Today I lifted the Dragon off the trestles and placed it on 5" high blocks on the ground (my chosen ride height) then lined up the wheels using the original Granny bottom arms at the front temporarily so as to get some measurements and trial position the steering rack from the Granny. At the rear I mounted the driveshafts and fitted them to the hubs. Once it was all lined up I could take the measurements for the rear upper and lower wishbones. Hopefully the bush tubes, bushes and wishbone mounts will be with me later this week. got to get some Maxi ball joints and Tranny drag link ends (which model Tranny should they be from?) to complete the front wishbones then with some dummy shock struts I can at least get the beast on its wheels.

I was greatly reassured to find that left and right rear wishbones came out to identical measurements.

Here's a photo showing it mocked up.
