basic suspension and steering geometry HELP!!

hi all knowing tree of knowledge that is L.C.B.!!!!

my buddy (airhead) is just about to start building a locost using an MX5 donor...

he has the american book but it doesnt seem to have any indicator of how to workout front steering and suspension geometry....

he wants to use locost style wishbones and the uprights from the donor...

does anyone have a method of working out the essentials so we can design the wishbones and make a jig???

cheers

barry

The American book used a CMC chassis, Locost book chassis built in Huntsville Alabama with Uncle Ron's permission.
The company has been out of business for 5-6 years, shortly after I bought my chassis. CMC (Champion Motor Cars).

Could you get measurements for the mounting points off your chassis if I asked nicely? Or even better off the control arms etc too
