Does anyone recognise this front subframe, as in what it's from?
It looks vaguely Vauxhall'esq to my untrained eye, but I never seen one with the large holes in the front beam before :?
It's currently on a Sylva Leader which usually used the Viva or Chevette as the donor, yet I've not seen this type of sub frame it's not like my 1256, 2300 or Jensen Healey subframe nor 1.3 Chevette subframe. Any pointers most appreciated.

Ignore the way the shock is mounted that is modified specifically for the kitcar chassis

Hard to say really, the photo doesn't show much of the shape of the beam. The wishbones look like HC ones, is the shape of the beam close enough that someone might just have drilled holes in it and dressed the edges?

If steering rack is mounted with three long bolts then its HB, if only two bolts, its Viva HC
