    williams wider track

    HI all,

    i got a 16v with williams engine a few months ago and was told it had as wider track on the front. after investigating this and messuring with a williams i can see it isnt but what i can see is that its the wishbones that are wider and not the actual sub frame. iv looked at a parts list for drive shafts and they seem to be the same code as the 16v ??? iv not looked at anything else but i assume the roll bar and track rod ends must be longer ???

    am i correct ???

    cheers ST

    widetrack consists of

    wider and thicker ARB with different outer mounts
    longer wishbones
    longer driveshafts
    different front struts
    longer front brake flexi lines

    thats it

    subframe is dimensionally the same, just triple skinned on the williams

    technically track rods are longer aswell i think, but usually enough give in the valver track rods and ends to wind them out to compensate safely

    easiest spot is valver runs a noticable amount of camber, and the williams doesn't !

    ye this seems to be like that but he said he put a williams sub frame on it so maybe he did but didnt put any of the other stuff on it ???
