MG MGB Technical - Chassis leg replacement

I am replacing the chassis leg on a 1966 B GT. I require the set up dimensions. Has anyone any ideas? or sources

You don't need any dimensions if you set the car up level then drop points on to the floor and complete the diagonals. I would suggest thet the points you drop are the crossmember mounting centres.

By doing it in this way you will ensure that the new leg is in exactly the same position as the existing leg and that the car is perfectly square.

Chassis alignment points are the crossmember and rear mounting points and dimensions are given in the Leyland Workshop Manual. But as Iain says if you are working on one corner you simply need both front to back, side to side and diagonal measurements to be the same and it will be 'square'. You also need each pair of drop heights to be the same.
