Front wishbone mounting points are very similar, I think the haynes wishbones are something like 3mm wider iirc. I think they may a little longer as well so result in a wider front track, not too sure on that one though.

I'm using Haynes front wishbones on a locost chassis as I wanted to use the better sierra uprights. I had to make my own alignment tool to fit the brackets to the chassis, but this was no more work than making the normal haynes one, I just had to make a few more measurements that's all.

Also, it has allowed me to match up the width of the front and rear track, as I'm using a BMW E34 rear axle assembly, that is very wide. But that was just to suit me really.
