So double wishbones on the back? NICE  Yes very similar to 037 except the toe / track rod will be in front of CV, as the c/o shock will most likely be mounted on the A-arm / Upright lower pivot |

sounds very similar to a mx5 rear end, could you not use this as the basis?

All the best Strato's reps copy the original prototype layout with double wishbone rear -  What uprights are you going for - John Cross still looks to be using the Litton/Gardner Douglas/Ultima uprights Is the final use for road or competition or both |

No not really, ( 1 could I suppose) cv too weak heavy steel upright I only want pukka race suspension components, limit compromising to the minimum Going proven Cosworth WRC Rear uprights full rose joints 108mm CV Ford 4x108 stud pattern keeps everything as simple as possible, even plan to use Cosworth 500 front radiator |

Looking forward to following this build - but I would be tempted to keep the engine relatively stock to get it all built and running, then go for the engine mods...but then I liked the sound of a 3 litre Busso!

Seems I accidentally deleted a post, so bare with me as I re post my awesome JD2 Tube Notcher So as a test I finished up a couple tubes for my customers modified Honda CB750K, Measure twice cut once It’s going make tube cuts so much easier quicker, Biggest bonus from tight fit tube joints particularly TIG welding is the increase speed of weld travel and reduced heat input = less stress less distortion.       |

Stratos body latches Requires 2 sets of X1/9 Targa top lever locks Mount base needs to be cut trimmed sanded Drill 2nd mounting hole Had my local old machinist turn up 316 stainless steel pins which require narrow groove for 4mm E-clips, me and my old lathe would have been a real chore to do Steel lever parts powder coated Hand bent stainless springs from spring stock, not the greatest, but they work     |

Ah so that's why they're so expensive! Everything about X1/9s is cheap apart from the stuff borrowed by other manufacturers for fancier sports cars  £300 each for door handles because they're shared with the Fezza 308, and now I learn about body latches for Strati... |

Just noticed the inner joint for that upper wishbone - looks like an adapter/aduster on the rose joint that would possibly be a right hand external thread with a left hand internal thread - Slacken the two lock nuts and turn the adjuster for easy and quick camber adjustment.
I do like an 037

Very nice! Like a super-compact turnbuckle.

   Lancia 037 Suspension, rated as being the finest handling rally car I want incorporate the geometry as close as possible to my Evoluzione Stratos. I’m intrigued by short front section of top front A-arm, appears to be anti-dive, and short Swing Arm Lengths, Camber Gain geometry With the 3 multi hole and shim spacer pick-up mounts the car could be quickly raised or lowered and adjust roll center and effective Swing Arm Lengths |
