CF1 and CF2 suspension arm compatibility

I am in the midst of stripping my CF2 van (D-reg 250P)down as a donor vehicle to use in my CF1 to run a Manta FI engine with disk brakes. It will be a long term project, but I have a few quick questions...

I will be using the CF2 front cross member and axle stubs for the disks, but the wishbones can come from either - the CF1 having fewer miles on them. Can I use CF1 wishbones and / or CF1 wishbone bushes (can't seem to get hold of any for the CF2) on a CF2 cross member. I would prefer to use the CF1 wishbones purely as i have a brand new set of shocks for them, and the CF2 uses a eyelet fitting shock, so not compatible.

If I must use the CF2 wishbones, can anyone suggest a supplier for the bushes.

Cheers
Phil

CF1 and CF2 wish bones are interchangeable.
main difference is how both ball joints fit into the arms.

to fit the CF2 front x member you will need to swap the front mounting point as CF1 and CF2 are different.

other point to remember is you need to use the CF2 TRE (track rod ends) as the taper if different.

Cheers Gethin.

I knew about the TREs, can hopefully re-use the ones from my donor van for the time being.
