Hi.

Various people (eg rally design) sell front uprights which are said to be "cortina geometry". Does anyone know what this actually is?

If anyone knew where a drawing is that'd be ideal but just a notion of kpi and ball-joint spacings would be better than nothing.

TIA,

Tim

do you have any kind of 3d cad package? if so i have a 3d model of the cortina upright. If not i think i do have a 2d drawing somewhere, but obviously that doesnt have the same amount of info a 3d model can give. Let me know

I know the feeling!

Actually, it's very unfair. All my spare cash goes into racing and my wife positively enjoys it. I shouldn't complain...

nope, i reverse engineered that using a CMM that i have access to, as im designing a machined upright for my college project that has to compete with the cortina upright. So i had to measure it really accurately and fudge a bit of fea on it to produce a set of figures that my designed upright has to beat. i say fudge cos im only on a level 3 course atm (A level equiv) and thus havent had the training to properly do fea. However i am 2 years behind because i spent them in industry and used my spare time doing yet more 3d CAD

I have the cortina upright in Autocad 3d if you want a copy U2U.
