Does anyone know the suspension hard points for the VX/elise, ie X,Y,Z, positions of the pick up points for the chassis, wishbones, dampers, steering etc. Reason being is that I'm trying to map the suspenion profile in a rather nerdy geometry program that we use at work in attempt to understand it a bit better. 

 

This is probably an optimistic request, but I thought it might exist with the amount of people that track VX's, Elises etc.

 

I'm having a search around the Lotus forums but to no luck, thought I would ask here to see if someone has come across it.

Used to have all the coordinate information stored in a software package called Adams

Good old Adams. This software is similar but a bit more bespoke for suspension. Did you just measure the points yourself or get them from somewhere?

If you find them, please post info here.

Yes this would be very handy.

No joy yet. I might try and borrow some inspection kit to measure it myself but probably won’t be for a while

Unfortunately a lot of regular forum contributors have migrated to Facebook for reasons that I don't understand, have you tried posting this there?
