jaguar front suspension for cobra kit
Does anybody in the usa or uk (I used to live in the UK for 6 yrs and have been to virtually every cobra kit co. there) have any plans, dimensions, drawings or photos for the geometry for an independent suspension set up in the front using Jag wishbones? I have a B&B body but have built my own chassis I am ready to fabricate the frontend clip now. I also have a Heidt's "generic" crossmember to use with the original Mustang II front end.
So my plans are to install a dana44 rear end to get it on the road then re-furbish and install the jag rear at a later date. Anyone?? anything would help! Thanks very much.

Why not just put the Jag rear end in now and save the hassle of changing it later?

Check with the Australians. They have Aussie made Cobras that use Jag front ends.
Everett Morrison used to have Jag front ends as an optoinal suspension.
Go to an auto body shop with frame straightening equipment, and they should have specs for any front end made.

Andy, that would be a great help. I have been thinking about making mustangII brakes a ford/gm swap over and I have this 76 jag sedan that i bought specifically for this purpose. today I just got the spindles pulled and rotors etc off the front. Rear is next 2-3 days. Pics of both the front and rear would be great. I ham building my own chassis and te "pan is done and the front end "clip/chassis horns" are don. So I am not really committed to any one specific design.
Did you keep the "stock" suspension set up? ie., castor, camber etc.??Thanks very much!!
Steve

jag suspension pics?
Dear Andy,
How's everything "down under"? Did you get a chance to get those pics yet?? I have a brother-in-law living 45 miles south of Sydney. He's been there since 1969. Are you anywhere close??
Steve
