I was going to use NC MX 5 front uprights. I had picked them up for a song. But they are heavy and the front steering geometry would have to be totally recalculated. The book car uses the ford Sierra or Cortina uprights. I believe that you can still buy these fairly cheaply either from an overseas website or through Australian wreckers. Instead of making oodles more work for myself, I am going to be following the books design and use all the book suspension measurements. In the long run on the first build (as if he's going to be more than one) it will make things a whole lot easier. Especially when it comes to the design of the front wishbones.
There is an incredible amount to think sanity in this build. I will undoubtedly add more when it's more of a sane time of day or night.
