Locost w/bones, (live axle rear, front- Cortina uprights), or the Indy type, (2xw/bone rear, front- Sierra uprights)?

My early type MK 'bones have the mounting bush sleeves set at 352mm, whereas the book dimension is 343mm.

See next post for pic comparison.

Following pic shows Luego type on the left, MK early (non-Indy) type on right.
Luego is fairly close to book drg. Rescued attachment Dscf0032.jpg

what diameter are the wishbone tubes the leugo ones look to be a larger diameter
the reason i ask is there was a thread about wishbones bending at the point where the shock plate and whishbone meet
the conclusion seemed to be the shape of the plate (sharp corner ) concentrated the load on the wishbone tube and either a larger diameter whishbone tube or a better shock plate design (with a gradual taper to spead the load) was better
