Which cortina uprights do I have

Guys is there any way of identifying which mark of cortina uprights my locost is using? Are they numbered or anything?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the MK 3,4 & 5 uprights were all the same.
Why do you wish to know, do you have a problem?
A photo of them might be of some help to one of the guru's who may be able to help you more.

The only differences that I was aware of was between Cortina and Granada, The Granada ones were bigger and heavier.

Ony Mk3 to Mk5 had uprights and they are all the same except the Cortina uprights used on the Hyundai Steller used a different thread on the wheel bearing retaining nut.

Mk1 & Mk2 Cortina had strut suspension.

Thank you for the replies guys. I'm rebuilding the front end and plan on upgrading the brakes to wilwoods that's why I need to know which I have fitted.

I'm going to try and upload a picture.
