College student looking for a little help with some Caterham parts

Hello all,

My name is Christopher and I'm a college senior in engineering school. For my senior design project a team of other students and myself are designing and building a Formula SAE car. For those who may not know what exactly that is its a single seat open cockpit formula one style competition utilizing a 600 cc motorcycle motor.

The reason I am posting here is we are interested in using some of the front suspension from a caterham 7, but thus far we have had very limited success getting any dimensions from caterham on them. We were hoping someone here might have an extra set of A arms and uprights they could measure for us or possibly even just measure the set on one of your cars? The dimensions we really need at the moment are the distance between the attachment points on the frame, the distance from the attachment points on the frame to the attachment point at the upright, the diameter of the tubing used, and the height of the upright. I will make up a little diagram with the dimensions I need tonight to help make exactly what I'm looking for more clear.

 

Thanks for reading and any help anybody can give us on this.
