Anyone with an MG Midget, tape measure and half an hour?

I've got an idea to design a kit car based on a Spridget, but to get any more than the doodling stage I need some measurements off the suspension.

If there's an owner who can take some measurements of suspension positions I'd be very grateful, I'd be happy to send a few virtual pints from PayPal over as payment.

The plan is to design a chassis which picks up on the Midget suspension so I need

1. Height of rear shackles from the ground
2. Height of hub centre from the ground (yeah, this is basically the tyre radius but just to make sure the rest of the measurements are level)
3. Width between rear spring shackles
4. Height of front chassis rails from the ground (to the underside of the chassis rails)
5. Width between outside of front chassis rails.

PM me if you can help.

Not an owner, but I've found these pics.

What kind of design are you thinking of?




And it should be in here as well:

Thanks, I've searched through SpridgetGuru's site and haven't found much beyond a basic chassis layout as used on the lubrication diagram.


What I'd really like is more like this but I FAILZ at the internet.


The car I'd like to make is a TC


And because I'm a design engineer by day, I thought I'd try and plan it out in CAD rather than cut up a Midget and stand in the middle of the garage with a look of despair.



Don't suppose you've seen the side view of that Frogeye in a larger image? Although the earlier cars have quarter eliptic rear suspension and mine would be made from a later car
