Cortina uprights?
laptoprob - 20/12/11 at 08:20 AM

Thinking of taking my std Cortina uprights out and swapping them for some lightweight aftermarket versions.

Which ones do we recommend?

Is it a straight forward swap?

How much weight will it save?

Hi Laptoprob,
If you are intrested I have some Westfield fabricated ones that are lighter than the Cortina items, I can weigh them on the weekend if you like. I will be selling the Westfield ones as they never got used. Almost forgot I also have the cycle wing support brackets to match.

i know you like the safety of the roll cage but wouldnt the weight saving from changing the cage be massively more than any other parts????????

Hi Dave,

wouldnt remove it for the world mate.

It looks miles btter along with the safety factor so it will stay for now

i totally agree. it is like being in the safest crazy vehicle ive been in.

was still a little frightening being in the passenger side of yours when id not seen you drive before lol
