I mulled over the use of the front wheel drive donors uprights & it was the handbrake issue that stuck in my mind

I am sure that there is probably a hydraulic solution there somewhere but to be honest I do not posess that sort of knowledge.

Had serious visions of using Citroen BX/Xantia front uprights

It was about then that I thought it was about time I stopped trying to think
