Ned,
the upright has a whopping great nut on the back of it, if it is cortina then he must be machining out the centre bearing spindle.

it does sort of resemble a cortina hub, excluding the blue thing in the middle. Similar shaped bits and bobs.

The uprights are purpose designed to suit the geometry I wanted. They're machined out of 6061 aluminium with a bolt-in spindle.

Don't all wishbone type uprights?
