One for the Vauxhall die-hards here...
My playthings (Reliant Scimitar SS1) use Chevette-based front suspension - the old double wishbone type - with an alternative shocker mount welded on (inboard horizontal). Were there two "sizes" used on the Chevette? I suspect that there was a slight difference between that and the Manta/Cav Mk1 setup in terms of balljoint size, but are the interchangeable to any degree?
I think they changed the wheel bearing size after the first year or so - true? Were there any other changes during the production run?

Dont know for sure, bet man father would.....
I do know that on the rally cars you used to weld a front suspension setup to the rear.....and fit the 2.3!

Phil, The chevette wheel bearing was the same as the Manta A series,I had several.
I'm not quite sure what it is you're looking for is it the wishbones or balljoints?
