They look like they should, are they off a Viva/Chevette/Magnum?Firenza?

Two words, spares availability. If you can't get bearings, or a steering rack/braking parts/wheels to fit, don't bother. Apart from that, do as you wish

I think someone's still knocking copies of the Viva uprights out. In fact, I met a bloke doing just that at Autosport last year. Can't remember who though

He reckoned it was cheaper to tool up for it than to keep going back to Vauxhall. Truth or bravado? Dunno.


Cheers,

Neil.





Your sort make me sick

Probably how to overcome the security alarms at the national motor heritage museum





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Does the transit rod end fit into the taper at the top of the upright?
