How many people have had Cortina uprights fail though?

So! possible failure of the alloy upright is worth the risk, compared to cleaning and refurbishing a set of steel ones?
You did read the thread to the end?

rally designs uprights
just been on the phone for about half an hour with the owner of Rally Designs to check this out..
he assures me that in four years of producing these uprights that ARE based on the raceleader design they have supplied almost 300 pairs with
absolutely no returns or advice of failure
Although based on raceleader design they are made using an LM25 casting by a major component manufacturer with strict quality control which is heat
treated to avoid grain growth in the casting, this grain growth can be seen in the failed components,
although they specify a maximum vehicle weight of 700kg, this recommendation originally comes from the raceleader product and th rally designs are of
a higher quality, that he knows of they have been used in at least 1 front engined V8 successfully.
i am after speaking with him more than confident in the product. If however your not convinced then Rally Design have bought up Fords stock of cortina
uprights and they are selling them for i believe £90 a pair.
i wouldnt like to see anyones business damaged due another companies parts failing.
we will all make our own choice on this

Actually, they are the Sierra uprights, not the Cortina ones.
Thought it was too good to be true...
