I am looking for a pair of Ford Cortina Mk 4/5 front hubs for a Locost build as used in "the Book". Open to suggestions.

Just the hubs or the hole thing ?


Out of interest whats the postage going to cost you ?


regards warren

if you were talking to me
postage cost nothing
got them from the next village to where i live !
but the postage for some on e-bay were £12 (with no calipers)
also day b4 saw a full set inc calipers and discs for £122
thought it was ment to be locost

S' amazin' innit? All the Dagenham dustbins that were sold and nary a one to be found these days. I ought to start stockpiling Sierra bits fo the day when they get scarce

Found this here if it's of any use?

Anybody know what sort of fornt suspension arrangement the Nissan Bluebird had as there seem to be a lot on that site? Nissan Sylvia as well?

yes i was shocked at the weight of the cortina ones,
thought the sierra ones were heavy!

might have a pair of sierra hubs,discs,calipers and mushroom inserts for sale if the price is right !

Ally cortina hubs are half the weight of originals !!

Jason

might have to turn it into a mid engined "hicost"

You should really try and get in touch with some of the stockcar racing guys over there. They're fanatical in Ireland about any kind of motorsport just start talking about the cars and slip in that your're looking for a set and I'll bet someone knows someone etc. And the price will be much better to I'll bet.

Postage wouldn't be an issue cos at this stage I'd sell me mother-in-law just to get a pair. Better yet, I'd sell the wife and that would be a real result! I'd guess about £20-£25. I'd get them sent to Northern Ireland cos it's cheaper and I'm only 13 miles form the border here in Donegal.

I paid £40 for my pair from a local banger racer.

Get down your local track and ask around next time theres a race on!

Guys, I am really open to anything at this stage. this is holding up my whole build as I don't want to start without the main parts. Postage or carriage should not be a problem........

Is it just the hubs you are after? or the whole uprights ???

Jason

It's the whole thing between the wishbones and the rim. I'm not sure if this is an upright or a hub. Do you think you have a pair?

Nah sorry , was just trying to clarify it for you, It is indeed the complete uprights you need, the hubs should come with them if straight from the donor vehicle,
I'l just be selling the Ally hubs on there own (soon I hope)
