I am using the MGB front crossmember which has an access hole cut thru it to pass my lower radiator tube (and reduce weight ) I modified the lower control arms by adding a strip of steel to the existing arms to box in the standard channel and stiffen things up a bit. I replaced the standard rubber bushings with nylatron inserts. The springplate was modified to allow for fittment of a 1" front swaybar. Mine is mounted a bit unique in that it terminates on top of the springplate rather than below it where it can collect all kinds of trash on the road. I replaced the standard lever type shocks and upper control arm with a unit I fabricated which replaces the lever shock but retains the control arm. I also mounted an outboard shock mount on the lower control arm and chassis to use koni adjustables. (does anyone know which shocks Butler used?) Brakes are the camaro rotor / dodge dart caliper set up which Butler used. All in all I am pretty happy with the setup. If anyone would like pics let me know with your email and I'll send them off...
