Hi all,

First post and looking for advice please.

I used to own a westfield and now own a Ginetta

In an ideal world I want to convert it to IRS using sierra IRS setup.
Alternative is de dion axle.

Does anyone have pictures or posted pictures of their setups please ?

What do Locost use for the rear IRS upright?


Thanks in advance

Hilux,

I used the machined mounting plate from the original sierra semi trailing arms. I cut them off, ground them down and then borrowed a friends surface grinder to get them dead flat. I then created a box around them from 3mm steel and put all the relevant mounts onto it. They're not light, but they do look to be hard as nails. I probably massively over engineered them, but it's better than have one of your wheels ripped off.

By the way, any chance you could cut the size of your avatar down a bit please?

BTW 150 pixels is good for avatars...
