has the design and geo of the cortina front uprights remained the same throughout the whole range or has it changed over the years. eg; did the mk 1 + 2 have same design as mk4+5

Mk1 & Mk2 had McPherson struts, so unsuitable.
MK3, Mk4 & MK5 (never could work out the difference really between a 4&5) all had identical front uprights, as did the Hyundai Stellar.

Yeah, official designation was Mk4 Cortina 80, facelift to use all the bits up before they unleashed the Sierra on us....

I can vouch for the fact the Hyundai Stellar are the same. Caliper is an M16 as well.
