Elan / +2 geometry V Triumph
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2021 3:00 pm
I have been asked how a Triumph Spit. front geometry compares to an Elan. And, frankly, I don't really know!
Am I correct in thinking the standard Triumph front wishbones are longer than the Elan but shorter than the +2?
Extra track of the +2 is a bit wider chassis (?) plus extended wishbones arms?
The inner wishbone pivot offset?
My manual gives the +2 as 2.96" (75.2 mm) Section A page2 bottom right image. Is that the same for the Elan.
Trumpet camber is 2 / castor is 4 compared with 0>2 and 3. Not wildly different.
Reason for this is a chap is intending to install a Spit. front end in a Rochdale Phase 2 and I suggested he check out an Elan whilst he was at it. Hence lumbering myself!
Cheers
