The ammended book has slightly longer wishbones so you can use the standard driveshafts.

Our Bones are fine, so we've been told......

But if anybody has made the bones to the 1st edition you can do what i originally did and fit an extra 10mm RU8 to each upright which will push each hub out by 10mm barely effecting the suspension geometry.
