Classic kit car help
I'm trying to get an O & C Sport ( 1986) kit car back on the road and it's going to need some new ball joints. What are they??? I
think the bottom ones may be mk1 Celica but not a clue about the tops... any ideas anyone? Has anyone got an original build manual or other info I
could buy or copy??
Thanks...

Any pics of the part your trying to source - people are usually pretty quick on here with a few pics to go by.

Or, if you take the part off and take it to your local motor factors (NOT Halfords) they should have a catalogue with pictures in you can go through
and ID the part 
I spent week after week in my local factors with random pieces of the TVR!

I'll take photos and post em... tried the local factors but with little success as the books didn't go back far enough!

I can buy parts for vintage cars from the 1920's...you can always get parts if you know where to look. A photo of the offending bit is all we
need.
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

Looks like Vauxhall Viva (or Chevette maybe) top and bottom to me.

Don't recognise them, but they do look the same top and bottom. Have you looked at the Maxi ball joints shown here - they might be a suitable
alternative.

No, they're totally different... the bottom one is circular and held in the bottom arm with a circlip the top one is a 2 bolt fixing..
Thanks anyway!
Bought a Maxi one on ebay so when it arrives I'll be able to rule at least one in or out!!!!
Thanks
