finally had time to mock the first draft of upright up,
comments / thoughts / sugestions welcome
hope to have the first pair fitted to our orange road car for oulton and some on our stand along with the full raceleda setups for you all to have a
look at
they accept escort hubs and calipers with a bolt in stub, andf can be run with rodends or balljoints on all locations
best regards

Look very nice Marc.
Do these fit your RT car or do you need a Sierra equivalent?
Also, do you have prices for your website yet?
Cheers
Mark
looking good Marc. What size is the stub mounting bolt? Just wonder cos it's a nasty loading on it, does it press into the welded on ring then
pull up with the bolt?
presumably (just to complicate things as usual!) you can alter the caliper mounts pretty easily on that as they aren't jigged??
(just thinking forward to the grasser and small discs/calipers)

Marc,
Any advantages of going for these for my and escort hubs/calipers than cortina stuff?

They look like a great bit of kit Marc!
What's the weight saving? Better geometry?
Chris.
M12 ?

thats an old picture, those are the early uprights, newer ones are a different stub axle, casting, and steering arm depending on which upright kit you
get

the stub axle retaining bolt is m12, the stub axle pushes into the welded boss and bolts from the rear to sandwich all the parts together, basically identical to the raceleda but in steel.
yep can accept bike calipers ( using them on our grass track car ) will send you some pics of the final chassis nat to see what you think, the prototype one i sent you pictures of we are putting a 600 cc engine in as a fun buggy for the fields

Heh heh! Really do need to get up to your place sometime for a nosey around!!!
What is that supposed to say, is there a "w" missing or an "s" in the wrong place? 
Are you far from Knaresborough Mark?
I'm going up there when the weather picks up for a look round as it was brass monkeys last time and everything was shut.
