Default or adapt existing upright

Hi, alternatively you could use a suspension from an existing car and adapt it. For example the mid engine MGF. One member here has put Alfa 166 hubs into MGF already. Or the Mazda MX5 would be relatively easy to fit 166 hubs to. You'd need to find a bearing that would fit the hole in the upright and the new hub plus machine or pack out with a spacer to match the offset. Then an adaptor bracket to fit the new big Alfa brakes.

I wonder if the big Alfa 166 brakes and Brembo callipers fit in a Dino 14" Cromodora wheel? If not perhaps the smaller Alfa 156 callipers and re-drilled brakes might be made to fit... or bigger Cromodoras.....
