Hello guys!

I'm about to spoil all the lovely Ultima threads with a more suspension related question. Anyway;

If I have done my homework right then ultima uses some kind of Ford-uprigts (by design). I have bought ford-style uprights from Westfield and these uprights gives me a scrub radius of 77mm (18" rim, ET37).

Do you know what scrubradius the ultima has? If using std ford hubs and uprights the Ultima would need rims with rather large ET to get a good scrub (that is, if the ultima uprights and hubs are designed as the westfield ones).

Any ideas?

The Ultima uses a cast alloy upright with just a ford hub and bearing.

I see, so the upright design is not derived from Ford. I guess it's the same for the Foreman P4 uprights (they seem to look like the Ultima ones).

Any pics of the front uprights with hub mounted?
