You will see how I have mine attached.  See if that correlates to what you
have.

In tearing down my Spit Six project, I think that I found a problem.  In my
car, the vertical link for the rotorflex GT6 has the wishbone attached to
the lowest point on the vertical link, with the radius arm and shock
attached to the vertical link that is just above, about   2 inches higher.
However, VB, SpitBits, Moss Motors, Rimmer Brothers, and even Haynes, all
show that the radius arm attaches to the vertical link at the lowest point.
I thought maybe that a DPO got it wrong and attached the wishbone at the
wrong location.  However, the opening of the wishbone will only fit the
width of the vertical link at the lowest hole.   I have a new set of
aluminum wishbones and they match the configuration of the old cast iron
wishbones.



Did I find a mistake in all of the reference materials?  Could someone with
a GT6 with the rotorflex rear end confirm just where the vertical links are
to be attached?



TIA.
