hi mate, do you know what uprights you've got? cortina's or sierra. if they are sierra's I know GBS stock them with insert mushrooms
already welded on. and not too expensive i think

What actual car is it though?
You said before "based on plans he bought". So it's a Locost? Based on the Ron Champion book? Or a Roadster by Chris Gibbs? A Tiger
Avon?
They're all very different beasts when it comes down to it.
Cheers,
James

If it's based on the orginal Ron Champion book then it's a Locost.
You'll have a much easier time of it when posting if you stick to calling it that!
The uprights are the big chunk of cast metal that the wishbones attach to. They hold the hub to which the wheel bolts!
If your car has been kept to standard Champion plans then your uprights will be from a Cortina.
However, a lot of people used the similar Sierra upright as it is/was cheaper.
Hope that helps!
James

Like in so many cases, it depends what you're doing with them.
But it's probably best to say use ali. I used 1.2mm stuff.
HTH,
