Hi I am rebuilding my T70 replica replacing the gearbox/rear suspension. This means re-designing the lower rear suspension it is currently reverse a arm with a trailing arm. I have changed the rear uprights to alloy Ultima uprights which means i can no longer mount the trailing arm to the upright (see original setup picture) as it will obstruct the rear wheels.
I was thinking of adding a brace to the a-arm and mounting the trailing arm to the side of the a-arm the mounting points to the chassis would remain the same(see proposed setup picture) but a friend of mine who rebuilds race cars did not like the idea.
The pictures are not accurate they are just to outline the origial/proposed setup.
I know there is a wealth of knowledge and experience on the forum and would value your feedback. Thanks in advance Mark
