Sierra uprights and wishbones, What mods?

What modifications do I need to make to the sierra uprights, preferably in simple terms (What bits do I need etc)?

What changes need to be made to the book design wishbones so they're suitable for sierra uprights? And can you please be specific? (I've searched and got as specific as "The top wishbone needs to be shorter"... How much shorter?! :-))

Thanks! :-)

All i can help you with is the fact that you will have to ream out the hole for the lower ball joint to accept a different taper. you will first have to decide which ball joint to use, ie a Maxi one as mentioned in the book.
Their are companies that will do this for you, however you cuold just buy the tapered reamer yourself and give it a go.

Some say 20m others 25mm Off the top of my head i'd say billy's was somewhere in between.Better to have adjustment back out than not enough. You'll also want to move the top threaded tube for the balljoint towards the rear of the car more for added castor (spring clearance permitting) 15mm should give you enough.
