nismo.capri Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yeah there are 2 different sized flanges but sorry I can't tell you what's off what..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My understainging is that the Mk1 Cortina and Anglia used the smaller flange but all the Escorts use the bigger flange. Could be crap - but probably true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Some escorts are also diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Mk.1s use the small flange, mark 2's the large. Which can be a pisser, as I'm still not too sure how to change the flanges... collapsible spacers and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collapsable spacers can still be bought new but I got all my stock from Burtons in the UK. Not certain who does them locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Cant 100% remember but I think the large ones have marks in them where the holes would be if it was a small one... So no trouble drilling them if you have a mean drill bit. Dunno where I heard this nor weather its true... just some random little thought in my head.
