rear wishbones
 
Hi
Can someone tell me the orientation of the top and bottom rear wish bones ?

Which way does the diagonal brace go on the lower and which way the longer side go on the upper ?

I have looked at most of the build pictures on the forum and it looks to be about 60 / 40 in favour of the diagonal going from inner back to outer front.

Thanks
Nigel

Standing at the side facing the wheel the vee of the arm is close to seat back,the rational behind this is that the load is transferred through the diagonal from the hub. (thats the way it is on mine).

You should see it as a "v " facing towards the wheel.

Thanks Flyerncle, that is the way I had them assembled, then got looking at a bunch of pic's and began to wonder if I was right.
