Just a question from me as it is perfect timing for where I am up to on my build and currently scratching my head.

Are your rear lower wishbones the right way up? only in the 'bible' it shows them the opposite way up?

Thanks Lee

Good question

In the bible the rear lower wishbones are shown fitted in 2 different ways....page 44 fig 4.16 shows 1 way then on page 74 fig 5.32 shows them the opposite way

I chose the position from page 44, after looking at other builders build pics etc & also thinking of any possible torsional tension the bones have when car is under load ( tho this was purely my own interpretation of the effect ) when travelling forward, as the car won,t be in reverse that much etc etc

Hope this helps, & being totally honest would also appreciate any thoughts on this, interesting question

cheers
andy
