That's great mickmate!! thanks very much, you clarified it just fine with me. Do you know anything a front end indie system with Jag xj unequal wishbone set up??? This one has me pretty stumped. I am reading the "Chassis Building by Herb Adams for about the umpteenth time. I lioved in the UK(London) for 6 yrs and almost every cobra replica mfg uses a modified Jaguar XJ sedan, series 2 or 3. They are a dime a dozen over there and are popular much like the Mustang II is here in the US.
I am attempting to figure if I can just transfer all measurements, (camber, castor, toe etc.) to my cobra but narrow the track to the cobra's track which will be about 55-56 inches. Any ideas? I am worried about some of the real technical aspects ie., scrub radius, c of g moment etc....
Thanks again

Steve
