Joe - Does the Turner use standard Spitfire top and bottom wishbones and vertical link? If so I should think that a few more measurements could give an idea if it would work on the Olympic. I wonder if the wheelbase is the same, thinking of Ackermann angle......

Turner, Rochdale, TVR, Ginetta.... lots of british cars use Triumph front suspension for 2 reasons :
- good shape
- big industrial fabrication, spares easy to find.

I think ridiculous to use it to modify it Wink
No ?

I've purchased my new subframe . . . GInetta one is now redundant.

I have an idea for making adjustable wishbones also . . .
