overall width

If i was to use a sierra donor it would be standard with the book, but if i was to use an omega donor then im fairly certain the car is wider.
will it look odd as the wishbones will be wider, or will i be better off modifying shafts to bring the overall width of the car in.
Still in the planning stage of things and getting things on paper. so some odd questions to come.
thanks,
Locky

sierra shafts have to be shortened anyway. It's not in the book but is documented somewhere on this site.

I would keep the wishbones as they are as much as possible. ( I have no idea what omega rear uprights look like - but I assume you will have to make some modifications to fit them)

The sierra shafts have to be shortened ONLY IF YOU FOLLOW THE BOOK! If you make the rear wishbones 10mm longer as per the list of amendments you can use the Sierra shafts as standard.

The updated book has the correct measurements in. ;)
