I will see what I can do at the weekend regarding the pictures for the Diff mounting.

Mine also has some very interesting geometry for the front Caster - one side is positive and the other is probably neutral :o Goodness knows what it would have been like at speed it's horrible.

On the S1's 2's and B+ type chassis the caster is all wrong and measures typically about 3.5 degrees rather than the 5-7 degrees used by the Donors and the Lotus cars that also use the same upright.

Both of my cars will be having new fabricated wishbones anyway - One will use Cortina uprights as per Westfield and the other will have the Triumph uprights but use Caterham/Ford spaced Hubs.

There is lada/Fiat Track rod end that fits the Triumph upright so that the Camber can be adjusted as it is with the Westfield set-up.

Cheers

I had a quick look under the car and the diff mounts onto the triumph sub frame affair that has rubber mounts and this sub frame is bolted to the chassis. So similar to how its in the donor

Cheers
