Best front hubs for locost

I was curious. What are considered to be the best hubs to use for the front suspension of a locost?

I've seen elsewhere that Cortina are lighter than Sierra. What mods need to be done if any?

Cortina are best but are getting stupid money,.

Sierra are common and cheap.

I'd say Cortina as well, but then I'm biased though

The book design is for MK3/4 or 5 Cortina's uprights as all these models of car had the same front set up

if you do go sierra, try to get solid discs from the smaller engined cars, they are lighter than vented.

Cortina hubs aren't getting too hard to find, I just payed £50 for a pair, plus a set of Jasons alloy hubs to keep the weight down for the BEC.
