Hi George,
Thanks for that. I hadn't realised that GCP had catalogs online. Unfortunately they don't show (at least I couldn't find) a part number for the actual subframe for either a 140 or a 160.
I was interested if the 160 was built stronger for my rally car project. The subframe is a weak link and needs a fair bit of reinforcing for the stresses of rallying. I thought if a) the 160 was built stronger for the heavier front end and b) was the same dimensionally, then it would be a better starting point for reinforcing than the 140 item.
Looks like I need to track down a 160 subframe and physically compare it with the 140 item.
Regards
JohnH
