As it looks like I will be using a Capri as my donor car what is there between the cortina uprights and the Capri ones.
I can have the option of two Capri’s one that is a 1.6L and a 2.0L, which one is the best for a locost with book chassis.

thanks Dick.
Out of the two which one would you go for 2.0l or the 1.6l?

Any other car that that i can get the uprights from?

Surely you can use the same kind of adaptors you need for Sierra uprights? Not sure of the diameter though - might have to have them specially made. They are basically a boss which converts the large diameter hole the strut normally goes through into a small diameter for the top ball joint.

All the manufacturers sell them for around £30 for a 'vanilla' set to £60 for some camber adjustable ones.

I was going to put some pics up on front uprights but already found them on the net. These use sierra bearings but a custom upright. click here to see them the bottom of the page.

It is a chasis from spider engineering for an Elan. The steering rack is a Rover part maybe an option for a 7.

what car is that upright in the pic from then?

so what mods do i need to do to the chassis to fit the Sierra uprights?

if you was going to use a capri as your donor would you use the 7+4 chassis or the one in the book?
sorry for all the questions

Have a look here. There's a pic of an adaptor and of it fitted to a Sierra upright.

I can take a pic of my Luego camber adjustable ones aswell if needed?

that would be a lot of help if you could do that, as i live in peterborough and can just go and pick some up from them.
