Default Anybody seen this chassis setup ? Help

has anybody seen this front end done on a chassis before ? I bought the chassis last week and all I know it's been modified to suit a R1 bike engine but I have noticed the front wishbones plates are they same top and lower (232mm) between the wishbone plates. The rear wishbones have been done to the haynes roadster spec

Will this front setup work ? If so does anybody know where I can get the front wishbones done ? Help please

I would guess it's to make room for the bike engine, the full lot accross the bottom looks closer to the front than normal. The steering rack supports look like a steeper angle etc too.

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

I think the hole centers will probably be the same height, just closer together. You'd need to measure.
