Cortina front suspension

NTDWM, but a complete Cortina front subframe assembly must be of interest to someone:

Ebay clicky

Same wishbones as my Tiv uses... Top wishbones are as rare as RHS these days.

The only PITA for locosters is that this setup requires a leading link into the bodyshell, since the lower bone isnt triangulated.

Good for the uprights and brakes tho! Also, the calipers are worth considering, cos they are the standard ones used to stop 1150KG of TVR Wedge/Tasmin. OK, so they arent up to the job for that weight of car (mines got princess 4-pot APs and custom discs), but they would be easily adequate for a 7.

Was thinking just for uprights and brakes to be honest, the front subframe doesn't really belong on a 7. Robin Hood proved that when they made possibly one of the ugliest 7's ever that used the entire front Cortina subframe.
