Hi,
I am looking at building a cortina based chassis and have both books (Ron's & Tigers) which book has the better front end geometry?

I know thius has probably been asked before so please don't flame me

Probably neither

I built one using all cortina running gear loosely following "Rons" book, all you need is a touch wider rear arch's, as for the front search on here and you will find proper drawings for the top wishbone, use the book as a guide not gospel, ask on here whenever you feel the need and you wont go far wrong.

Hi,

Since your local (I'm 7 miles from Sudbury) you'd be more than welcome to cast an eye over mine.

It's a +4 with IRS. Mk 2 Escort rack and 'Tina uprights.
I have a jig for the top bones (22mm off set) and know of a scrappy that often has Tina u/p's.
I think he charges £75 with discs & calipers.

Stick with Ron' s as it's a known quantity and I've never heard anyone say their Locost doesn't handle well!

Just rememeber to double the top wishbone castor to 22mm not the 11mm shown in the book.

HTH,
James
