Have a set of new roller birdcages that was for a BW car. Will they work on a GRT with the same width rear end?

I'm not sure how much difference there is from Wright to a GRT but from car to car there are differences in what they are trying to do with regards to shock angle and 4-bar angle when viewed from behind. On the nicer aluminum birdcages, shock drop is adjustable but there are also "standard" locations for those.
So if you have something that isn't right and you're going to run the brake caliper floated (on the birdcage) your going to be stuck with the shock angle wherever it ends up based on where the brake rotor puts everything else.
Lots of stuff to consider...probably worth a call to GRT.

Thanks. I may just try to sell them.
