Surly some one must know, phoned the factory today, and the bloke said that it's 6" wider than a MK2 Escort. Just have to find out what
that is now.

I'm not after Ripping anybody off, and I'm not being underhanded, all I want to Know is weather it's worth me buying MK's the
front suspension, A arms rack etc.
But I need a track width of 1525mm (60" , so with the wheels it becomes 64" overall width.
Track width's are hardly a Black art, A arm positions and lengths are more of the things I understand that you would not want posted.
My car needs some front suspen as you can see.

So as you can see, I'm not into copying anybody... I want to be one of a kind.

overall track outside to outside of tyre is about 61" using 195 tyres, outside of tyre to bottom wishbone mount is about 24"
......outside of tyre to top wishbone mount is about 21" using mk indy wishbones which are longer in length than book wishbones..... bump steer
will be a problem thats why the shortened rack.... if you use a mine rack your wheels will turn left when you turn the steering wheel to the
right.........I would suggest you contact Martin and tell him what you want to do......he is brilliant at solving problems ...... in fact he likes a
challenge

I have bought 20M of T45 38mm tubing to make a space frame chassis for the hole car. Just using the mini body for a Silhouette, but need to work out
the A arm positions before I can start the chassis rails at the front.
So first had to Decide overall track width (64" outside tyre to tyre), then choose the wheels and width's etc ( Team Dynamics
Monza's 7x15" with 38et offset)
on Sierra Uprights.
So that's the stage I'm at. If the MK has a 61" overall width with a Shortened rack, then if it was not shortened and I just move
apart the A arms chassis brackets the same amount as they shorten the rack, then I might be nearer the 64" I'm after.
