  1. Std offset on a 7j rim is ET 5 IIRC, I guess they should go on - only 5mm further in... Cheers
  2. This is the thing - they are advertised as having come off of a talbot but the sleeves that the studs come through look like group 4? Tell you what easier to just bung the link up....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/7-x15-compomotive ... 1e612205f5
  3. Found a set of compomotives that I fancy for my mk3 Capri - but can't seem to find out whether or not metric nuts are available to make this possible? I imagine this has been done before?
  4. On the lookout for somewhere to work on the 'tina. I'm currently renting a lockup down in W - S - M but its becoming a headache due to the time and cost of going down there after work and back and having to stay late to really make the time worthwhile. The other half has beem cool about it even though she hates the place and at times we are like strangers passing so it would be great for the three of us (me, car, her) if I could find somewhere closer to home. I'm not on the scrounge as I'm a willing payer (within reason obviously) and will consider anything as long as its secure and has electric. Or, if anyone is renting somewhere and has room for a car and my tools/bits or even wants to club in for a unit let me know. Thanks for reading this
  5. I love the way you aussie folks go about your Cortina's, pretty much the highlight of whatever mag they feature in. You all seem to think along the lines of "there is no box" rather than thinking "outside the box" to coin a phrase. Looking forward to watching this progress
  6. Saw a pic of your car in a show report June issue of CF. Wanted to ask you about the wheels on your car
  7. Wondering if this is a classic case of "lets have the newb over"..... Bought an atlas a couple of years ago. It's 50", and having looked at numerous tech articles for comparison, its a 3ltr capri one. EXCEPT it has 8" drums instead of 9". Put it on ebay and a helpful person suggested it could be a V4 atlas? My osf knowledge is limited and revolves around mk2 cortinas (STILL learning all the time) so if anyone can confirm that there was an atlas for a V4,if so from what, and was I had over? I even bought it from a fellow "enthusiast" so will be doubly pi$$ed off.
  8. Were the ratio's in the T5 and the MT75 on the 4wd different? Even geekier, anyone know the ratios? Even geekier still, anyone messed with or know of any improvements that have been/could be made to improve the ratios?
  9. Thirded - I have a narrow (50") Atlas and the arguments I have had with knowitalls over the whole baby atlas thing is unbelievable.
  10. Some 195 45's and a healthy drop
  11. So the list of pat numbers are not enough on their own to do the conversion? Thinking of sacking off the xflow in my 'tina now for a 1.8t, my cousin wants the xflow for his anglia. Could be time to look for a donor! I already have an adapterplate setup to fit an MT75 to a 1.8t which is cable clutch but being as the 'tina has been butchered for a type 9 I was hoping to be lazy and keep the existing box and one piece prop. Decisions, decisions.
  12. After getting caught out the other weekend with no breakdown cover a couple of weekends ago on my daily, I'm looking at online breakdown policies for my cortina. So......if you wouldnt mind, take a minute out and let us know who you use, who you have used in the past, companies to avoid (worded as to not leave anyone liable to being sued! ) and recommendations. Best quote I have found so far is £49 per year with ICBreakdown's silver policy. Any experience of this lot?
