Hi,

I am using front and rear beemer hubs from an E36. Rears are pretty much sorted but am still busy with the fronts. What top joint location on the hub are you planning for the fronts? I plan to fabricate something that will attach to the strut locations.
I hope to do a layout drawing of the Sierra/roadster front suspension this weekend. Then overlay the BMW hub in such a position to keep the track the same. I will then modify wishbone thengths to suit, keeping geometry and roll centres within an acceptable range.
Where are you based?
