All the cortina stuff i've had has been spot on, i recen they sent Mk1 stuff ? get on the phone and complain dont take it!

Amazes me people still dont know the cut off date, only been like it for the last 15 odd years

Any good ? those inner wings are Mk5 by the way hense the square holes, they shouldn't be there on a Mk3

i've got a few tyre pens, i use em for marking parts i strip off cars and the odd timing belt as well i found they need 3 or 4 goes on a tyre to cover evenly

try not to make the sellers sig look too much like the buyers if it was taxed it would say Licence Not Due

Built yeears ago when they were 2 a penny so not a waist of parts IMHO, dated yes

that says sorn NOT DUE so it's on sorn already just remember as soon as the V5 is back in your name to resorn it

type b is the 1.6 GT/2.0 box, C is the 1300 and 1600 non GT

what Mk? i will have a Mk5 for sale end of this month? 2.3 GhiaS etstate (auto) been in ashes to ashes and the odd film role (it was on TV on tuesday actually) over 12 months MOT and 6 months tax for the new buyer (currently on disabled free tax that can't go with it ) lcheck out my pre posts if your interested of join buysellcortina, it has it's own threads on there under the same user name i have on here

this looks like the junk draw in me kitchen strangely enough the kitchen is the one place i'm NOT alowd car parts it's full of HER crap

not bad but when you cant get in the garage then it;s a problem

fit gas shocks instead of the usuall oil only shock or go the whole hog and do the above /\ /\ /\

Obv a sacm, no-one (except Nigerian princes) actually talk like that, although the command of english is pretty low on here it still stands out as a load of bollox

Happens to me all the bloody time mate, been waiting for £20 for 2 months for some stuff i sent to ireland via a show and a 300 mile round trip to get em there even worse i took em off me project to help him out and now it's on axle stands till i get some steels that fit another one was sent stuff out ther for 30 pounds and got paid in bloody Euros so lost out there as well It does piss you off dont it but i like to keep olduns on the road and help the owners out

No worries mate i allways have an excess of cortina parts about the yard and front room, kitchen ect

Hewre ya go, hope they help some The lower of the 2 bolts This is the bolt you'll need to move in to counter the neg camber produced as you lower it slotting the hole and using serated washers would make it adjustable ??

Have a look at some locost kit car builds, they use the cortina uprights but with differant style upper and lower wishbones, they arnt a direct replacment cos the inner pickups are spaced differantly but it will give you an idea of what's possable

How would you lower it though? Shorter springs and shocks? I dont know what the Camber will be as standard as yet, but if the camber does need adjusting how do you change the pivot points to correct it?? Greg Just springs and shocks or only springs if it's not going much lower than stock ? Camber you'll need to redrill the inner pivot/bolt hole, i'll get a pc of the spare crossmember i have in the yard tomorrow

any idea what the set up will give you as standard camber wise? the main problem is going into lots of neg camber when lowering the Mk3/4/5 front end but changinging the lower inner pivot point is the easyest way to correct that, in fact early Mk3s ran pos camber, later ones more neg due to moving the lower pivot so if your using and early Mk3 Xmember you can lower more before going into large amounts of neg camber?

perhapas 30mm is total? 15mm each side, that does look a lot when you think the camber increases as the susspension compresses top in is neg top out is posative camber and i'd do it on the wheel not the tyre as the bottom of the tyer bulges with the weight of the car ?? never ever done any susspension setting up using the tyre, even tracking is done on the wheel never the tyre

Like i said

How are you adjusting the camber? it's not adjustable on the standard susspension? only the trcking is? sorry if i've missed a big thread describing your set up

once you have levered that round black rubber seal the bearing should fall out, the only thing that needs driftin out is the bearing seat (the round ring thats sort of coned) the new bearing is sitting in in the new packet

I've got a Mk1 xmember with rack mounts on it propper job by old ford auto but the engine mounts have been cut off? if you want a pic i'll take one want a score for it

Virging suck mate mine speeds up at 11PM on the dot every night and when i complain they say there's bnothing wronge and it cant speed up by itself, full of shat
