See my old mk2 cortina thrrad for rack n pinion conversion

Cheers. Will contact tomorrow.

If doing front tube chassis where would one start/talk to in the wellington area?

Assuming for cert it would all need to be done or checked by some kind of emgineer... who?

does a chassis alignment machine need to be involved?

Any ideas of rough prices if paying a shop to do it? 3k? 4?

I looked for ages when i had my escort for 14s and could only find fwd. tvese fut cortina well.

Lee got those ford hubbies from coon from me lol. Is hubbie measurement the inside dia. I will jus measure once rims back from powdercoaters.

Does anyone know what these rims are originally off?

They are stamped Formoco/Ford

They were 14x5 or 5.5 (cant member what they were prior to widening)

I need to know what they are so I can find some hubcaps for em. (rather than mod others to fit)

Google doesn't help me much.

Thanks

Ling tag..

We looked briefly at one of those ones when they were a bit newer, the one closest to road. This was prior to us buying in the Hutt. From memory was similar price to our first house which was 310k

Adjoined commercial property can come into grief with shared amenities, or at upgrade time if laws change and whole building needs upgrade to code.

Oh yuh Helcrow Engineering are 90+ a wheel

busy with werk and forgot these were at engineer.

should get at least one day this weekend on cortina also.

Eagle f1s are nice in that size. Prob bit more than a g tho.

or does that closer to strut than it looks in pics.

Or... works in my head but may be thinking wrong.

Make an adaptor that bolts behind both lugs. Then it curves same circ as disc upwards and steps back out to same width as lugs. Maybe can get one hole between current lugs and one slightly higher?

So moves caliper slightly above std but keeps same plain.

Or Wilwood can come in the exact size to bolt straight on.

Browse US or UK ebay can often get an older set for a steal. Old man got some delivered to NZ for under $200 for both (Ford pattern). No pads tho.

Those discs you've used... do they provide same offset as standard? Cant say I came across those when looking for upgrades all those years ago, and I read the shit outta the DBA catalog.

Wonder if I could use on my mk1 with the standard calipers spaced to suit.

PM user Lownslow.. He has the proper ones.

I only run filters for old paint or top coats. Replace in line filter often tho.

Plenty of charts out there to tell ya what size hole to drill prior to tapping a particular thread but does anyone have a link to one which tells you what size die to use for x size pipe/rod.

15.5mm rod in this case.

If you insist on staying blue oval, what about one of those tiny capacity turbo ecoboost motors?
