normally i wouldn't post a set of plans that had to be purchased. i have a set i cannot find now and the company went out of business way back when. if i find them i will post them. here is a pic though.
I just re read your post. I think I'm a bit off base with the reply but ................ we can still start the dialog. I never thought I'd ever suggest using this a-holes plans but I have to admit they are VERY good plans if you really want to fab a buggy that will actually be pretty damn capable.The plans are very,very complete and I can attest from personal experience they are accurate. Pretty cheap also. I assume you are wanting to do a 2 seater? If not he has single seat plans as well. Here is a link to his 2 seater. Take a look. https://rorty.net/r82s
right I stripped of some of the crap so we can see the engine and box a bit betterthe distance between the output flanges on the gearbox is 11" but the point that the driveshafts seem to pivot around at the gearbox end is another 2.5" further out on each side giving a total of 16" is that where i want the A arms to pivot aroundthe driveshafts will push into the housing at the gearbox end around 2.5" they also have plunge? on the other end toowill do some marverlous felt tip drawings later
on the audi/passat I took the engine out of it had double A arm on the rear , but the pivot points for the arms of massively offset with the lower arms pivoting 5" further in than the uppers, does this not cause the wheel to tip over and not rise and fall vertically ? and just for reference the axle would look like this if it was all clean and shiny
