Sierra based fabricated rear uprights

All,

Which kit cars use Sierra based rear hubs/shafts/brakes and are fabricated from steel?

Reason being is I'm building a RWD ford focus which currently has a Cosworth rear beam/7.5" LSD/bolt on shafts, and I want to change to non trailing arm set up.

If i can find some rear upright which can be modified for the correct shock pick up and maybe strengthened if needed i will use these as a base.
That or just make my own.....

Many thanks!

That's just the Haynes roadster approach, so there are a fair few suppliers with the same design. If you're looking to modify it though, perhaps start with this;

Then you can make the adjustments as you go?

Habe a look at the early fury irs which has a single lower wishbone and the a coilover from the top of the upright to a turret. May be easier to manufacture and fit that a double wishbone version. The alternative is the venerable jag irs set up with inboard discs.

Yes that's how I want to do it with single lower wishbone and stut mounted to that.
Much like the old WRC escorts rear axes
