Tiger Front Suspension

[RHFG]

Old thread I know, but does anyone have any info or specs on the various front suspension upgrades done over the years. Specifically do all parts need making from scratch or are Mustang 11 A arms, spindles etc being used?

Also has anyone made mods to the factory beam with success?

Yes. Complete Mutt II added to sunbeam crossmember including the shock towers. Internal of crossmember opened and reinforced

Any pics? Were the Rootes shock towers moved or turned? Russ

Crossmember

Modified one years ago finally built our own from scratch, using Mutt II
geometry.

Whose M11 bits should I buy? Any drawings/measurements of the beam cut?

We used Wilwood Pro spindles, and their alloy hubs look at Heidts hot Rod
web site they'll explain geometry we drew ours to what we wanted and went from there as has been said looks like mine! Wilwood spindles and hubs provide a easier approach to brakes etc. and they are not handed as the off the shelf Mutt II stuff every one sells, plus they are taller than stock which raises the front roll center. note we did not use the stock cross member this was from scratch.

The Rootes shock towers are part of the front crossmember; removing the front crossmember also removes the shock towers.

Not sure why you would want to move or turn the Rootes shock towers, but doing so while retaining structural integrity and alignment would be a challenge.
