3000m/Taimar front suspension mounting points geometry?
Discussion
Wonder if someone with a standard 3000m or Taimar chassis would be able to give me any dimensions or measurements of where the upper and lower wishbones attach to the chassis?
I have a setup with no caster as the uprights are completely upright, suspect the previous owner of my abandoned project modified the pickup points and neglected to give me any information.
Actual thinking about it, more specifically its the lower wishbone mounting tabs, if someone knows what their positioning from the front of the chassis should be, how far they extend outwards from the chassis rails and the radial angle of the tab holes centers above/below the chassis center line.
I know its a big ask, but my race car project is essentially scuppered unless I can get hold of some info.
Many thanks.

Interesting problem Erich. Can you see any evidence that the pickups have been moved? On the Vixen chassis the only practical way to do this is to cut the old ones off and weld new ones on in the new position.
On a more practical point, why would you want to remove the caster (suspension experts) is this some sort of racing mod?

It looks like the upper ones may be new, I don't think the castor was intentionally removed, the previous owner had something in mind as he was going to run it with an AJP8 engine and modified suspension, but he never completed the suspension work and neglected to tell me what he had done.
