Would these work on any upright?

I have capri uprights i think with hispec hubs but one of the studs spin in the hubs so i need to change them.

I have a short term solution so I'm in no rush.

Hi,

Are you sure it's not cortina uprights? I haven't heard of any 7 using Capri as in pretty sure they are McPherson strut?

The Sylva Striker used modified Escort/Capri struts.

Several cars used Capri uprights with a chopped down strut. Jeremy Phillips off Sylva fame springs to mind.
I thinks they used a bigger wheel bearing.

Did not know this! 👍

Aye, my Phoenix uses Capri uprights.

So I assume these are Cortina hubs?

Yes cortina hubs, not sure if they fit any of the other setups!

Was asking for a mate but he's after Escort ones. Out of interest where did you get them?

Benzo - 31/7/15 at 06:38 AM

I'm Surprised these are Still here! Open to offers on these or as a deal with the uprights also listed.

How much do they weigh?

Benzo - 31/7/15 at 01:27 PM

851g according to the post office scales

Hubs sold.

I'm surprised these weren't snatched up before me, that's 300g of unsprung mass saved per corner for only £10 a side (when you figure in the VAT and carriage on the RD alloy hubs).

That's exactly why I bought them. It was to save me having my RD hubs machined.

Where did they come from?

From one of westfields suppliers, sorry to be vague but I got them through another forum
User but that is where I was told they where sourced.
