Hi,

Can somebody clarify wether a 1974 rear subframe will fit my 1995 sprite, I purchased one in very good condition with complete radius arms set up cheaper than I could find individual parts.

All rear subframes are basically the same. Wet ones will fit but....

Except for the odd extra bracket or some extra gussets.

So yes it will fit.

Should fit but yours will have different exhaust hangers I think. pretty sure you can get adapters to fit the later style onto the earlier subframe.

Hi,

Yes, as said previously, the exhaust hangers will be different, but you will still be able to hang an exhaust. Additionally, the radius arms will probably have the non spacer type drums, so you may have to change these and you will need longer wheel studs too.

Apart from these differences, you will be quite able to fit it.
