Hi there,

Will these uprights do??
What do I have to consider when choosing my uprights?

They look like they should, are they off a Viva/Chevette/Magnum?Firenza?

Two words, spares availability. If you can't get bearings, or a steering rack/braking parts/wheels to fit, don't bother. Apart from that, do as you wish

Nic Mann used uprights like these on his hill climb Minor. If they were alright for him............

I think someone's still knocking copies of the Viva uprights out. In fact, I met a bloke doing just that at Autosport last year. Can't remember who though

He reckoned it was cheaper to tool up for it than to keep going back to Vauxhall. Truth or bravado? Dunno.


Cheers,

Neil.

Probably how to overcome the security alarms at the national motor heritage museum

Does the transit rod end fit into the taper at the top of the upright?
