cortina uprights
planetester - 19/2/03 at 08:17 PM

I have bought my mk2 escort & now I need the cortina uprights which seem to be in short supply, I intend to use the mk2 escort wheels, can someone answer the following..
can I use the mk 2 wheels with sierra uprights...
can I directly replace sierra uprights with cortina ones at a later date should I manage to get hold of a set

The Mk 2 escort wheels are the same PCD as the Sierra so the will physically fit, although there has been much disscussion about offsets and stuff.

The Cortina and Sierra uprights are not interchangable although if you change the wishbones you might be able to swap them, trouble is the chassis brackets would have to be the same too, possibly it's a non-starter.

Cheers

Chris

Where in the world are you. I might have a set of Cortina uprights going cheap.
