locost_bryan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Try the Mk1 Cortina club http://www.mk1cortina.co.uk Appears that all the "standard" cars had the same struts and pressed steel arms, but the GT and Lotus had cast or forged arms and different struts. NZ cars should have been assembled from CKD kits of English parts, unless they used Australian CKD kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
