Hi all, whats involved in changed my "book" suspension setup with cortina uprights/hubs to sierra ones?.

Can anyone post front wishbone dimension and the "U" bracket positions for the sierra hubs??

I am trying to find some wide track wishbones for the book locost but can only find wide track for sierra setup!

Thanks

So will you be using Cortina or Sierra uprights?

Bit confused...

Either way, MK, MNR or MK Engineering should be able to help.

Is it that different? i thought that the changes could be adjusted for by screwing in some ends etc??!1

Nope - new top bone required due to the difference in alignment of the top ball joint on each upright.

Difference in alignment fore-aft, or side-to-side? And if side-to-side, can't you simply get some type of extension (i know it has been done on steering track-ends)?

Oh, right, cortina to sierra, instead of the usual vice-a-versa. So, you would need to cut the top wishbone down a bit, if possible???
