Thanks Paul. Do you know whats modified? Goodness........iIts a long time since I bought anything for a Cortina !

I seem to have excessive play on one arm of my steering rack. It looks like there is a bush missing inside the unit. I will know better when I get it out, but its strange as the car has only done 3k miles. I dont know the history of what it was built with (i.e. used/new etc) Does anyone know...

OK, thanks Andy, will do. The nostril panel arrived safe and sound.....thanks for that. M.

I have had the same issue on my Stratos and covering my dash with alcantara cured it completely. It also looked superb with colour coded stiching......

Looks like one of the rear shocks may be leaking on the car. From the looks of it, I suspect it is an original Tornado aluminium unit. I can check with Andy tomorrow and see if these can be rebult or not. My question was are there any other options being used by current owners? I have fitted...

new ball joints and steering gaiters fitted. One step closer to recommissioning......... Thanks again for you help.

I'm liking the idea of the secret storage and the fact that you can get a worthwhile amount in there. Who would have thought youd get enough for 2 for a week in a GT40...... Good advice on the hinges Ian!

Thanks all for your help. Got them ordered.....fingers crossed. M.

Thanks Mike, thats a neat solution. I hadn't considered the frame idea, but I had thought that whatever I do, someone will likely try to use it as a door handle! I quite fancied the net idea as I dont have any other leather trim in the car (apart from the seats), but that looks good. How did...

Cheers Murf, I had a look through the Tornado website but didnt see anything. I'll give Andy a call and see if he has anything. I need to order up a single nostril front panel anyway. M.

My doors are fitted with the standard Tornado door pockets which are open. I wondered if anyone has found a "luggage net" or anything similar so these areas could be used for storage (usual stuff like wallet, phone, bottle of water etc). I was considering just making a tailored cover for the...

Hi All, I am recommissing a Tornado and I need to replace the top ball joints on the front suspension (perished rubbers). Cany anyone tell me what they are from? I have seen another thread listing them as Mitsubishi Colt, but this may be because the OPs arms were swapped to Southern GT ones...

Hi Steve, I tried to find your number, but if you drop me a pm with it then I can give you a call. I've taken a pic, so hopefully this makes sense and might shed some light on your issue, as it sounds identical.

Strange.....Mine has just done the exact same thing. Had it out for a blast, running great with no issues. Parked it in the garage then came out 2 days later and it's all jammed up. I spoke with Chris this morning and he said that you and I had both called him on the same day with the same...
