can you identify these?
can any of you help identify these uprights i think there from a courtina but im not sure they came with the chassis i bought but i didn't
check to see if the hubs i was given to go with them were the right ones before i got them anodized and have now discovered they don't line up
 i have loked for part numbers but all i could find was a ford stamp and the numbers 858
any help would be appreciated

Hardly a snag, they are very much sought after and quite valuable!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Haynes roadster front book uprights are from a sierra.
No big deal, some one will do you swap and pay for the plating.

Again tina.
Haynes roadster = Sierra
Haynes locost = Cortina

That second picture looks like a rear hub to me, the 4 holes bolt onto the end of the axle casing?
The 3 holes on the front uprights were not used on my car that used cortina uprights, sell they were used for the cycle wheel arch bracket mounting
only.

Surely that cant be right, if you bolt that to the back axle the wheel wont go round, its part of the hub! Dont the brake disc's bolt onto the
back of Cortina uprights, or am I totaly barking up the wrong tree? Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

The hub does not bolt up to the upright, that would prevent it turning which would somewhat defeat it's purpose! The hub mounts onto the stub
axle on the upright using two taper roller bearings (you will need new ones, the outer races in your hubs are rusty and almost certainly beyond
redemption). If you don't have them, you will also need retaining nuts to go on the ends of the stub axles, the special keyed washer that fits
between the bearing and the nut, and the metal "cage" that locks the nut in place using a split pin. e.g.
The four holes in the hub is where the brake disc is bolted up. The three holes in the upright are for steel stone guard mounting bolts, but this
most often omitted on Locost builds.

I was thinking more modern bolt on hub (land rover discovery style) but omitted to notice that the outer side of the hub has no splines on the inside
to take the drive shaft!

Disc's are mounted inboard on them 4 spuds and not over the top of the wheel studs like sierra's and other modern stuff.
What doesnt line up ?
Any pictures ?
Is it a locost or a roadster ?
