Just been studying the book for the next section of my build and surprise surprise there is conflict in the sizes.
I already have my axle brackets made and the trailing arm hole centres are 110mm apart as per page 72(2nd ed).
However on page 64 the drawing shows the arms (Which look parrallel) mating onto the chassis brackets with a hole centre spacing of 146mm.
Surely the centre spacings should be the same, or is it specifically like this in order to rotate the axle slightly as it rises and falls (to keep the prop flange in line perhaps ?).
So as my axle brackets are made should I alter the chassis brackets to 110mm (they're not fitted yet)as well or leave them at 146mm.

one of the many errors in the book, your right both should be 110mm

Guess who found that out a bit late

Thats the photo that made me decide to make the brackets (plural) into a one peice bracket. Mega tidy work Mark.

As an afterthought I presume the lower chassis bracket is the one that is in the correct place?

Yes, the lower two holes are correct (14mm) and the upper (10mm) is wrong.

I used Bluebird trailing arms which are adjustable and are useable straight off the nissan, but use M14 bolts
