Front Suspension Crossmember Dimension Diagram - Fig 11:9 (Viva Front Subframe)
Dimensioned engineering drawing of a front suspension crossmember detailing measurements in both inches and millimeters.
This document is a single scanned page (page 179) from an automotive workshop manual showing 'Fig 11:9 Front suspension crossmember. Dimension details.' It is a dimensioned engineering line drawing of a front suspension crossmember (subframe) viewed from the front, showing both left and right spring/strut towers and mounting brackets. Printed dimensions are given in inches: 27.92 in. (overall width between upper mounting points), 3.46 in., 6.88 in., 21.00 in. (between lower points), 0.44 in., 1.12 in., and 27.76 in. (overall lower width). A previous owner has annotated the drawing extensively in pen with metric conversions: 750 mm, 709 mm (70.9 cm), 88 mm, 175 mm, 533 mm (with half = 266 mm), 11.2 mm, plus additional handwritten measurements such as 19 mm, 42 mm, 210 mm, approximately 85 mm, approximately 61 mm, and a '42 mm dia' callout for a lower bore. This page would be useful for checking a crossmember for accident distortion, fabricating or verifying a replacement, or aligning suspension pickup points. The filename suggests it relates to a Vauxhall Viva front suspension, though the page itself names no vehicle.
