Does anyone with 300 series knowledge/experience ever look on here?

I have a couple of questions about the 300 series. Does anyone know what the track width of the rear wheels is, in either inches or mm? Also, what is the bolt pattern of the wheels?

I am interested in details of the rear suspension too, so if anyone has a picture it would be much appreciated. I've wasted a fair bit of time on line without being able to find one, or the specifications mentioned above.

I am interested in the Variomatic gearbox and rear suspension for possible use in an electric car conversion of something else. In regard to this, I have seen mention of manifold vacuum being used to control the gear ratio. More information on this device (and any possibility of eliminating it) would be useful too.

Thanks.
