Re: Front Suspension Geometry

I do appreciate the input it is giving me a better feel for the way I want to go with this.

Kalum yes I agree the top arm should be longer I tried this length to keep the camber gain that was already there but I am over that.

Everything said I have taken onboard.
I will start from the wheel in (Thanks Frank).

My original idea was to run with about 4 deg KPI the mock upright has 6.5.
The original stub has 7.5.
This is why I made it in wood as I didn’t want to set anything in concrete at this point.

The upright does look deep because the modular bearing is about half the depth of the original wheel hub so the space is taken up with upright, a flatter disk would be ideal.

I will go away and play with this I will post when I am happy.

Jim
