Same for Lotus Cortina`s I believe

It all depends on offset of wheels as 12inch rims can fit under standard arches sometimes.

I supplied The original uprights that Richard Guest modified to make patterns for the castings that John Wisher used to make his uprights. Out of the deal I received a pair of blank castings which I haven`t been able to get machined yet. The castings I supplied were Gardner Douglas like the...

Sorry to hear about Dave, I was talking to him only recently too

I did what Mike suggested on mine but it was in the 1980s and I`ve forgotten tube sizes I used etc. Cheers Kev
