Sierra Uprights or Swap for Cortina

Hi guys,

I have a full set of front Cortina uprights including hub, callipers, discs carrier etc. but I need a Sierra setup.

Happy to swap if anyone would like to or buy the Sierra set up?


Cheers,

I have some Sierra uprights, hubs, 265mm solid discs, wishbones and cycle wing brackets I removed from my Westfield SDV when I recently converted to Westfield widetrack. No calipers as I used them, though I do have the Wilwood brackets so you could use Wilwood radials.

The cycle wing brackets include inserts for drag link (top ball joint) and I also have MK mushroom inserts.

Not considered the cost yet, will have a ponder or feel free to u2u an offer.

Can post pics






I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

This is straight after taking them off the car, so still got some road grime on them - but you can see how the Westfield cycle wings fit. I also fitted some longer studs as once the discs are on, std studs leave minimal thread engagement with alloy wheels.

Discs are 257mm not 265mm - they were part of this kit from RD - so you can buy nice new 4pot Powerlites for £89 each and have some pretty decent brakes. Not sure if the discs would suit other setups, so selling with the adaptors only.









Price?

Uprights & hubs (with new mushroom inserts and used ball joints) £70

Discs & Wilwood Powerlite fitting kit £40 (fitting kit is that price plus vat from RD)

Cycle wing brackets £30

All plus post - which might be a lot due to weight!

The kit doesn't come with pads - I went for Mintex1144's
