HELP!
Harry B - 24/10/05 at 09:37 AM

I am building a Robin Hood S7 Mark 2 that I bought off some one intending to do it up again.I need serious help as the front lower wishbones are not on the Cortina subframe supplied,so I cannot attach the stub axles!I spoke to Robin Hood this morning,who said that because of their new takeover they do not know about old models of Robin Hoods-basically they cannot supply new wishbones!Does anyone know someone who either a)has this car or b)is able to weld some wishbones to fit my car for a fair sum?Any help would be great to get this bloody car moving!

Should they be the original cortina lower arms ?, If so some one here may know the whereabouts of some ?It's normally the uprights that are needed not the arms so you may find them easier to source.. I Know of a P100 being scrapped if the arms are the same.

I was told they were supplied with the kit,so gess they are not from the Cortina.The uprights are from a Cortina,but the lower and top wishbones are not from the Cortina I think.It uses the McPherson strut if that helps.

Have you tried the Robin Hood Club site? they are supose to be very helpful.

Good luck and don't worry, you will get it sorted!

I have put a post on there aswell,but people rarely check the forums and it does not have as many members(or knowledge)as you guys.

I've always found the rhocar guys extremely helpful and knowledgable, keep checking and they will help you out I'm sure. Good luck.

I have a RH S7 sitting in my back yard that I have to get rid of soon. Mine uses the (hideously ugly) Cortina front subframe, but installed back to front and the bottom arms are definately Cortina. Other version of the S7 used very different front suspension arrangements.

If you are anywhere near Plymouth and fancy a spares car for cheap let me know! (complete with 1.6 pinto and box, tatty bodywork, and a set of quite good Ford 4 spoke wheels).

Will do-who is Richard though?
