Cortina Mk 3. 4 or 5 column surrounds
russbost - 16/10/23 at 09:26 AM

Bit of a long shot, but I'm sure some of you must have broken Cortina's for bits, I need a lower half column shroud for a Mk3, 4 or 5, not sure they are all the same, obviously a complete set of upper & lower would ensure they match

Anyone got anything they're not looking for a fortune for?

Still need some Bosch distributor cap clips too ...

Cheers Russ

Have you got a 3D printer?

Nope, & if I did, I would have thought unless someone has already created the files to print it would be quite a difficult job to draw up?

Does anyone know of any 3D files that already exist for Cortina column shrouds? I do have access to several peeps with 3D printers

Any specific reason they need to be Mk 3/4/5 Cortina steering column shrouds?

Is that what steering column you've got / are using?

Could you modify shrouds from a more modern (available) vehicle to suit?

Donor was a MK5 Cortina, I've got some other column shrouds here, but nothing that even vaguely matches up, I guess I'll just have to make something up

Makes sense.

I recall using a Sierra column in my MK Indy and being glad I'd kept the 2 piece plastic shroud to refit. Getting something else to line up with the scre fittings would have been hard work. No doubt the stalk apertures wouldn't have aligned either.

Any good Russ
