Well yes and no but what we have done is.......drawn things up all proper like and there will be a set of front upper and lower wishbones to keep the same track as using Sierra parts on the Roadster.

This has all been done with poota trickery to optimise (wow big word for me) geometry and ensure the parts work together and make for a dapper of a sports car as far prettier than the fugly Sierra lumpyness that used to be the bottom of a strut....

Set will comprise:
Pair fabricated uprights.
Pair upper wishbones
Pair lower wishbones
Lower ball joints as they differ from standard Sierra based Roadster.

Oh and will be powder wotsitted pink for much prettyness

I suppose interest will very much depend on price. If they look trick, and don't cost a fortune, then they should sell pretty well.
I suppose the stumbling block will be for people who already have front bones who don't wanna have to shell out on new ones.

I saw a flying pig from my window the other day and it had a perfect fabricated roadster front upright dangling from its tail
