Rear Uprights
Anyone got some nice pics (or even better drawings) of rear uprights they have made for their midis...looking for inspiration ......

My solution was not very elegant but it works in the interim. I used ford fiesta front ourights which I discovered had exactly the same splines as the
Renault UN1 driveshafts making the box installation easy.
Check out the Sylva Riot site for details how to mod the uprights.
The advantage of the Renault driveshafts are they are hollow - hence dead strong and light .
Cheers

Here's mine, before final welding. The centre is cut out of the front uprights from the Audi that donated the transaxle and drive shafts.
 
upright tack
Here you can see the parts and the tube that self jigs the lower bushes in line with each other and the side walls vertical

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Single seater uprights are a good option and pretty cheap!
