Talon front upper wishbones

[bentovey]

Hi I have a set of talon wishbones to fit a TMXR chassis,
I’m using the mx5 front uprights so I’ll need a pair of ball joints to connect them.
The problems I’m having are,
1- which ball joints do I need?
2- the wishbones are threaded differently, one is M16 and the other is M14.
Is there a reason for this or am I missing something?

Hi on my Talon wishbones with mx5 uprights I used mx5 bottom ball joints
And BMW 3 series top, mine wasn't a Talon chassis so I don't know if the wishbones are the same.
Regards Mick.

Hi Mick,
Do the series 3 bmw ball joints have odd threads, which year?
Many thanks

The talon chassis uses ‘book’ wishbone bracket positions.
Did you have to team the uprights to fit the bmw ball joints?

Hi no my chassis is the book chassis with the Saturn alterations, it doesn't need any reaming it's the track rod end that you use, I don't remember the year but I think the 3, 5 series are the same but you will have to check.
Regards Mick.
