FD front control arm mounts

Hi all,
I am about to graft FD suspension into my Datsun track car.
There is an abundance of info here on setting up the suspension with reference to the body and ground.
Can someone possibly measure the front upper control arm mounting points relative to the bottom ones as a starting point for me?
Thanks
Andrew

the lower control arms mount to the subframe so the mount points are more inboard than the the uppers which mount to the frame in the wheel well. if they were in line with each other then the distance between the two is ~7.5in. i measured the inboard mount points and not the ball joints. the distance between the ball joints should vary based on the ride height.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
Would you also be able to tell me the other 2 dimensions?
ie approx how far outward the top mounts are relative to the bottom.
And how far in front of the front bottom mount the front top mount is?
Thanks again
Andrew

What about the distance from the ground to the bottom of the cross member (where the front lower control arm mount is) when the ride height is at 25" to the arch?
