In terms of the Indian arms, the fixing points for the spring isolator and the ARB drop link are in the correct place, however the oval hole is in the wrong place, as well as the dish the spring sits in.

All of the relevant mounting dimensions are identical to the original arms, I mocked up the arms and subframe with rods inserted into the ARB brackets to allow accurate measurements to be taken with the arms resting in a fixed position relative to the subframe.



These were triangulated from the mounting holes in the subframe, and a ZT subframe was deliberately chosen so as not to introduce any error from settled metalastic bushes on the 75 variant.
