Hi ,

I have a drawing of the Cortina upright if that helps. I have also drawn somewhere a ball joint (top and bottom) that i had stripped apart to find the centres of.

Email me off list and i'll dig them out

Darren,

I would be grateful if you would email a copy of the cortina upright drawing to assist with my own suspension design. I use CAD and can accept most cad drawing types, .dwg .dwf .dxf etc.

Thanks.

John.

Kind regards,

Darren
