De Dion or IRS (Wishbone Type)
davepro - 6/7/05 at 07:45 PM

Can any one advise me which is the best way to mount my Sierra LSD to my locost chasis. I realise that I will need to carry out some chassis mods which ever way I go so I am looking for the best way.

Thanks in advance

define best? easiest or most adjustable?

I guess the best is, most adjustable and best road holding. Not the easiest, if I was looking for the easiest I would buy a ready built car......................

IRS it is then i guess! certainly not the easiest, but you get more chance at controling the wheel angles in roll etc.

Isn't it refreshing to see a post where "quickest" or "cheapest" isn't mentioned.

Good luck which ever one you choose.

I went IRS because I felt like it!

The fact that the chassis came with a set of Stuart Taylor wishbones didnt help my decision at all!

I've gone for IRS and am enjoying the challenge.
