Suspension to chassis geometry dimensions

I've noticed quite a few guys modelling their own versions of F1 designs here. I know all chassis differ - real or otherwise - but has anyone physically measured or modelled the suspension pick-up points on a modern F1 cahssis - front in particular?

I'd be interested to see the dimensions if anyone has, as I'm playing with a fairly detailed 3D suspension kinematics program (Optimum K), and would like a modern F1 geometry arrangement as a reference.

Thanks

Try to measure from some orthographic photos and see how it goes.

So this is what everyone does then?

I thought someone might have been close enough to a chassis to run the callipers over to get a few measurements! lol

Of course, then share what they find.

Oh well, I'll get onto it.
