Better to optimise geometry and have some billet items machined instead of trying to adapt something from a different car. Price wouldnt be a great deal different, just a bit of CAD time. Iirc, the 037 rear upright be it straight from or copied in ally, came from an idler on an Iveco armoured car.
Enzo,
Just use the rear chassis and running gear off your 3.4t !
Think if I was going to the trouble of building a replica 037, i'd do it right and copy all the uprights, otherwise I think the value would suffer, as has been seen before only a couple of years ago. Do it once and do it right.
Someone here may be able to confirm if this upright, shown here on the back of a Delta S4 is the same as the one on the 037?
There is a good set of S4 pics here

Look the same to me. Think the early focus wrc used a modified version.
The 037 rally car I'm comparing Craig's S4 photo with, has wheels fitted, so it's hard to see the whole upright. What I can see of it, does look like a similar casting.
The chassis on the 037 doesn't look half as accomplished as the S4 one. Even down to little things like the anti droop cables. It's as if the 037 was a development hack for some elements of the S4? Obviously not the 4WD and turbo bit.
It did become the develpment hack, even to the tune of 4wd and they did try Turbo's.
Here some pictures! 037 front and rear upright!
All original style parts available from here if you have some deep pockets then.

Similar price to Roberto's cast stratos uprights. Guess its the going rate.
