Hi im building a 4x4 mk1 escort using luego rear suspention! this is a picture of a luego with an arrow on the measurment im after - the gap between the 2 25mm box sections

it's the full size drive shaft one (i believe some have shortened drive shafts)

If anyone can measure there can and post the measurment here i'd appreciate it



Thanks

Hi between the bars internal is 400mm and external measurement is 450mm that is for the full length drive shaft version
hope thats ok Richard

Thanks mate!!!

Im still having problems with this basically when i set the bottom measurement to 400/450 the top seems too narrow and i cant get my diff in - its as if the bottom wishbones need to be longer??? so would anyone be able to measure there wishbones for me please?

my bottom wishbones are 385mm between the bolt centres of the straitest side (the one furtherst to the front)!!

and also my top wishbones are 265 between the start of the thread and the centre are these correct?

also the same measurement i asked for before but between the top wishbones on mine is 740mm/790mm (inside and outside) is this correct?

Hopefully its something simple im doing wrong and ive got the correct wishbones - thanks in advance

The original measurement you asked for is larger on the viento which uses a standard siera rear end. (550mm from memery but will have to check for deff if you want me too) - can measure wishbones on monday if you want -

inside to inside as marked on following pic is 550mm -external - 600mm

the viento may have different wishbones to the ones you have so this may not be of help -!!!!!!!!

its hard to measure the wishbones with them in place but the lower wishbone fron the center line of the rear two bolts to the center line of the front two bolts is 385mm approx ( hard to measure)

you could do with posting a pic of your wishbones so that velocity xt owners could compare them.

Thanks mate much appreciated!!!
385mm certanly sounds like my wishbones but i will take a pic of them and post it up, the kit i bought is the conversion from a live axled car to an irs one - not sure which car........ doh!!! at the time it didn't really matter!!

Cheers
