other makes?
is it possible to use front uprights and a rear axle from a car other than a ford without making many adjustments?
If so which would be a similar size to the fords?

Somewhere I've read that early Tigers used golf I front uprights. Don't know what they did with the driveshaft bits though, but the McP ubolts from
the upright ( also seen with peugeot and renault acars) and some adaptor was bolt on to that, simular to what some OZ builders have done to nissan
parts.

does anybody know about the sizes of rear axles from toyotas, mazdas, rover, etc.
I'm looking for a rear axle from a cortina or one of similar size.
so does anyone know which one would compare to the cortina axle?
