uprights- sierra cortina westfield? Help!
cactus - 11/3/08 at 11:20 AM

can anyone tell me the difference between these uprights? I am building a haynes roadster that uses sierra uprights from a 2wd car.

my donor is an xr4x4 and the uprights from this are no good.

I have one westfield upright but would need to buy another one and i dont know if they can be used or not in any case.

Do i forget the westfield upright and source some 2wd sierra ones.

as i am on a steep learning curve at the moment i would welcome any thoughts.

yeah just get some 2wd sierra ones, cheaper than the cortina and have better brakes

look they're they are, like these...

The haynes roadster geometry is setup for sierra uprights, you would need to adjust the suspension pickup points for cortina/westfield uprights.
