HELP!
I am building a Robin Hood S7 Mark 2 that I bought off some one intending to do it up again.I need serious help as the front lower wishbones are not
on the Cortina subframe supplied,so I cannot attach the stub axles!I spoke to Robin Hood this morning,who said that because of their new takeover they
do not know about old models of Robin Hoods-basically they cannot supply new wishbones!Does anyone know someone who either a)has this car or b)is able
to weld some wishbones to fit my car for a fair sum?Any help would be great to get this bloody car moving!

Should they be the original cortina lower arms ?, If so some one here may know the whereabouts of some ?It's normally the uprights that are
needed not the arms so you may find them easier to source.. I Know of a P100 being scrapped if the arms are the same.

I was told they were supplied with the kit,so gess they are not from the Cortina.The uprights are from a Cortina,but the lower and top wishbones are
not from the Cortina I think.It uses the McPherson strut if that helps.

I have a RH S7 sitting in my back yard that I have to get rid of soon. Mine uses the (hideously ugly) Cortina front subframe, but installed back to
front and the bottom arms are definately Cortina. Other version of the S7 used very different front suspension arrangements.
If you are anywhere near Plymouth and fancy a spares car for cheap let me know! (complete with 1.6 pinto and box, tatty bodywork, and a set of quite
good Ford 4 spoke wheels).
