These are the customs I made for MX5 uprights and a +442 chassis. They give standard MX5 track width, I made the tops to give 7 degrees of castor. I
do have more pictures i will try and find them

Very neat, I much prefer that design where the threaded tube is well supported with the plate, rather than just the welds around the end of the tubes.

the obvious downside is that you can't buy wishbones off the shelf for mx5 uprights, as far as im aware
the mx5 upright is very nice I prefer it and I have both
