Haynes roadster chassis's only come in one size, so you have no issues there.

The diff and driveshafts will just bolt straight in, no need to cut anything.

It takes a ford escort mk2 steering rack i think, its been a while since ive looked for them.

As far as i,m aware, the chassis you have bought was made by a company called 3ge, They supply parts for the Haynes Roadster, are keen forum members & are a great bunch of guys,

The chassis i presume will be built to the "book spec", tho i think it has a different front suspension set up,
without seeing a pic of the chassis i can,t say for sure about the diff placement & again presume it was made to accept the MKII escort steering rack.

Might be worthwhile contacting John at 3ge, ( contact info in members list on here)
I,m sure he,ll be more than helpful to your questions.

cheers

il post sum piks tomoz now as bit dark in me garden

Yessum that's the chassis the lads at 3ge made and we had at Exeter in 2008 it has inboard front suspension and adjustable rear wishbones for toe in and out. It was made to take the MT75 gearbox as at the time I had an XR4i intended to be the donor........but things change so I sold it to a lad in the Navy or RAF or whatever it was I can't remember.

3GE's welding is the muts nuts by the way.

Oh and uses a MK2 Escort rack and all the Sierra gubbins will fit at the rear but uprights are for disc brakes as my old XR had rear discs. Seat straps are spaced for.....yep you guessed it "Triton race seats".

yeh i will be buying some seats of you when i get that far, hopefully shouldnt take me long got my engine sat in me kitchen loll zx9r ready to go in.

Takes the shocks as stated in the Roadster book so no need to mess around trying to figure out what you need, well apart from farting about with what poundage springs you want as we are all different and have different driving styles...sideyways is more fun than flat out boring main roads
