i am using a mcsorly chassis which is 46" wide, the granada rear axle is as best i can measure 60" wide, now the cossy wheels i have are 5" back spacing, which leaves 2" per side for clearence for the tire and the mounting for the fenders(mud gaurds).

given the above, this would seem a good choice.

i intend to make my own backing plates similar to the luego flat plates, the calipers fit directly to the hubs so brakes will (should) not be an issue.

the problem i have is at the front!

to get the front wheels out far enough, 60" i will have to make the suspension "a" arms about 19" long if i am correct?

i made up some adapters for the requisit ford transit ball joint in the top of the hub but with no offset,would this be a problem?

what would be the position of the chassis pivots with this type of hub assy.
