Uprights proposal
found these uprights
 
uprights 1
 
uprights 2
 
uprights 3

I think to go with these ... but uper whish bone should be simetrical because the uper and down hole for ball joint are in line...
any sugestion ... should I make some adaptor the distance from up to down ball joint mounting position is 145mm (5.7in)

You still need to create some caster angle!

Most racecars run 3 degress, production 5-6 degrees. 5 is probably about right

The way they are bolted together is for rear streer -- swapping the arms over side to side should fix this however the steering arms look very long
compared to Cortina units.
Might be best to fabricate new steering arms and use rose joints (sperical rod end bearings).

Does anyone have the dimensions and weight for the Lada uprights?
They are dirt cheap, and the modular build should make it "simple" to alter brakes, steering arm, etc.

Fiat vented disks fit the lada hubs without any mods, just need adapters for calipers, and calipers.
i dont know why no kit cars used ladas as a donor, wishbone front suspension, 5 linked live axle, tuneable engine.
thousands of possible donors have been crushed, a riva would have cost about the same as pair of cortina uprights.
My lada, 8000miles from new, stored last 14 years, 500 mile round trip the same week i put it on the road.

In your country I would say use whatever you can find that looks right. Certainly the Renault one sounds like it will do the trick.
Obviously you will have to make the suspension components to fit whatever bush you use, but there's no need to use the triumph bushes, most UK
builders don't use them anyway now, most use polyurethane bushes similar in size to your renault ones.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Yes I already order a pipe section to be done on lathe for that metalistic bush .. I tought about poly bush , but I'm making a car for road so
rubber is more flexible and soft ... if ever the racing series start here we will change...
new question ....
can rose joint replace the uper ball joint ... of course with some adaptor ect. , I mean in sense of strenght and durability.
