buroz Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Anyone know if a (std track) wishbone from a De-Dion car is the same as grads car. *Grads car = Live axle with the double wishbones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 If your talking about the top double adj wishbone, the answer is yes, as long as the upright doesn't have trunnions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Faulds Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Matt, It depends if the De-Dion in question has trunnions (did any of them?). If it doesn't then they wont fit the Grad car. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 If the upright has trunnions, you can still fit the de-dion adj top wishbone and roll bar. All you have to do is buy different track rod ends for the wishbone, which can be obtained from any motor factor. If you do a search, the part number is listed or if you intend to do this, drop me an email and I'll forward the part number on. I have changed my top wishbone to the de-dion one, and my car is a 91 live axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buroz Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 Cheers for all the replies. It's not actually for my car, but I know someone with spare wishbones from a De-Dion car, so was just trying to assertain whether or not they were the same. As it's not just a case of fitting, they have to be the same. Cheers once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Faulds Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Sorry Casbar, I wasn't very clear. I was assuming Matt was looking at spares for his Graduate racer, and what I really meant was that they are different, and as such illegal for the series. The bottom ones are totally diferent anyway.
