J15/ Riot owners. Help please
Afternoon all
I wonder if someone with a J15, Riot etc could help me with a few measurements?
I want to build a rear subframe for my GTM LIbra to rid it of the floppy trailing arms and thought copying the J15/Riot might be an option. I just
need to see if I can make it fit.
I am after the measurements shown on the picture I have borrowed.
Bulkhead bar to rear
Width of rear chassis at bottom
Width of rear chassis at top
Distance between lower and upper rear chassis
Distance between lower wishbone front
Distance between lower wishbone rear
Even better is there an owner close to Manchester that would allow me to come and measure their car?
Thanks
Rog

I've found that measurements will err... vary from car to car, but here's one I've got on the table right now:
Bulkhead bar to rear - 905mm
Width of rear chassis at bottom - 665mm
Width of rear chassis at top - 920mm
Distance between lower and upper rear chassis - 285mm
Distance between lower wishbone front - 750mm
Distance between lower wishbone rear - 750mm

I think I've still got a set of unused of original lower rear arms from a Riot sitting spare in the garage. Might even have a top set but IIRC
they are different from your pic as the Riot is a short arse.
How does the roll bar connect in your pic?
Cheers!
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

Thanks for doing that.
Did you measure between the lower and upper members inside to inside or outside?
