Haynes Roadster Measurement Required
If anyone is building a Haynes Roadster I would be gratuful for a measurement from it if you have got to the fitting stage of the rear suspension. I
could do with the measurement of the width, hub to hub if fitted with drum brakes or disc to disc. I have a crazy idea of building the rear suspension
arrangement of the Haynes Roadster into a lightweight hatchback (Citroen AX etc) with front engine as a classic trials car. I need the measurement to
see how it compares to various hatchbacks.
Cheers,
Myke

At a guess the roadster has the same trackwidht as the sierra, 1470mm with ET35 wheels. That would make the the hub-to-hub measurement 1400mm. Or
thereabouts....
It's been done before with the MK indy rear suspension setup in the back of a yellow fiat 500 some years ago. I think that was powered by a
blade engine but am not sure.

Found it; here it is: http://www.fiat500club.org.uk/clubchat/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5605 loks very MK-ish in the back but possible a bit
narrower.
