how much wheel lead
HI,the duna came with the original panonia mounts I think. the car will bolt right on to the /2 and looks like it will go down the road. wheel base for the /2 is 56" wheel lead is 8".I think from resent readings that this may be too short. if I disconect the mount off the frount motor mount I can pull the car forword to 10 or 11" of lead.this also looks better when I stand back 20'. the car is vary lite maybe 200# on the wheel and thats with the load.this makes me think I can get away with more lead.

The 8" wheel lead should be fine.
I have 5" on my BMW /5 MVFII rig.
I think a little more lead might be a good idea, but why don't you try it like it is? If you don't get too much nose dive braking and turning left, then it is fine. Your steering effort may be less with 8" than it would be if you increase the lead. My guess is it will work just fine as it is.

PS I remember someone getting a Duna in the not too distant past-ask on Sidecar Talk( http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/SCT/?yguid=7229071 ) and the Russian Iron Board( http://russianiron.com/ ) -you can probably find someone who has set one up and can speak from experience.
