My uprights are my own design. I wanted the upright to fit into the wheels I am using, and provide as much stability as I could get.
They are 6061 alum, and use a ford bearing and hub.
My goal was to get my lower wishbone and transverse upper links as long as possible, while keeping with the 56" track width...everything works, and the units are strong and very light.
Here is a photo of the upright installed with just the hub mounted.
Cheers
Phil
