Zcar front subframe?

[Mini-dude]

The place where I found it was on pinterest the title of it was Classic Mini Race Double Wishbone Front Subframe (Not Zcars)

[Steve220]

It's for a rear engined mini though. Not getting an A series in that 🤣

[Mini-dude]

I am aware of that but still would like more information on it.

I find that pornographic

Yes the Mini has unequal and non parallel double wishbone front suspension.

[Mini-dude]

yes thank you for  a nice description of the photo lol. Anyways I am still interested to find out who made it and if they are willing to do another slightly different seem like a good design for a non mini project I have going on.

I can't help with the original, but if you're looking for those kinds of services, this guy seems pretty skilled: https://instagram.com/vtecminis

Youre probably better off on facebook groups such as ruined minis or the honda ones.

As pretty as it looks who designs something where the spherical ball units are used that way around?  
 

the ball part is only staked in place so you have a load ability that nowhere near the rating of the unit and is not given by the makers.

I've seen this exact setup used on many race cars over the years, so which spherical ball units are incorrectly used?

Not an engineer but the joints look very close to their angular limits and are taking the weight of all the car with no failsafe.In another life I maintained a single seat race car on a very amateur basis and the spherical joints were consumables.Agree with Nick.Steve..
