hey guys

im considering stealing the complete front and rear suspension setups off an ma70 for a little project ive got brewing...

ill be fabricating new pick-ups for all the arms etc (ie will be junking the subframes/x-members) so can put the suspension basically where ever i like (ie increase track, wheelbase etc, i wont be changing geometry though).

but before i go out and buy a doner car to rip everything out of, im hoping to get some basic info taht will let me CAD a basic mock-up of the susension and chassis etc. i dont exect it to be 100% perfect, but some round figures to ball-park and sketch with would be brilliant!

so, basically what im after is in the following pics:

FRONT
A - distance between upper A-arm mounting points
B - distance between lower control arm mounting points (cant see them in the pics, but im sure you know what i mean...)

REAR
C - distance between upper A-arm mounting points
D - distance between lower control arm mounting points
E - width of diff across the flanges

doesnt have to be to the mm, but 1-2cms would be good! will take whatever info i can get though to be honest, just saves me having to rip apart a car too early on in the piece!

cheers
