Nice update on the website - still misses the prices defined on parts for direct order

If I was in your shoes - I would go for SGT uprights

There was (is?) a make called Raceleda which looks very similar to the ones Tornado supplies. Are they "sisters"? I saw a set of these on our Swedish forum (Cortina/Taunus) https://forum.locostsweden.se/index.php?/topic/15365-raceleda-spindlar/

I would say that this is not completely true - that SFRO only accept SGT uprights. It is more factors than uprights that they consider, the same is for Super Seven where Taunus/Cortina is a popular upright but not the ideal geometry. I and many other had that upright and the overall judgement...

Thanks @Morten A. Larsen but this thread was lifted by @Phil H ;) I replaced the Tornado alloy ones with Granada Mk2 and thanks to you for the Ebay link :D

Disclaimer: As always with advises on internet, you have to validate if you are satisfied/comfortable with the advice and then you decide :) As I see it it is nothing strange about that and it goes for everything. Good luck with your build! Do you have a build log?

I got from @Deno the following Some additional information in AUS at: https://www.mcdonaldbrosracing.com.au/viking-coil-over-shocks

Great work @Franky

Thanks all for answers and your great knowledge. I will continue the investigation

Thanks @blueovalz for you extensive feedback :) Yes, it would be good to have some info from Tornado-guys that have built and tested their suspensions. What I meant with "full drop" is the maximum drop I get with just the wishbones and uprights fitted - just dropping them in "free air". This is...

Hi, Looking at shocks for my Tornado build. The car will be used on road but still capable to do a couple of track days per year. Thinking of Protech shocks and springs, 2,25" and single adjustable 400 series. A few questions that I would like to have your guidance on. Shocks Open length...

Thanks @Morten A. Larsen ....anyone else? ;)

I have a set of Granada Mk2 hubs also. Within short I will remove the bearing races from those and see if those is correct

Not so many replies... Any more information on your's ? (rim width and ET/offset). Please mention if it is Mk1 or Mk2 and if normal or wide body I appreciate any input

Thanks @Twosheds I agree, I also felt a bit suspicious about this but I was told it is a common solution....but a bit hesitant. Front wheel bearings carries quite some load. I'll give it a try and see how it turns out, so ordered a 638...

Hey guys, Do you have experiences with retaining compounds with wheel bearings? I need to use retaining compound on my front wheel bearings which can be seen here: https://office.jarkeborn.se/index.php/s/pirEPLzQtaXHq7L Loctite has several types of retaining compounds and wonder which one to use.

Thanks for your support guys

I have now recieved new engine mounts as referred above and they works. I also think the following mounts will wotk as they seems similar in design: *...

Thanks @Bob Woods as it seems I don't have the same block as you. I will hopefully receive new mounts tomorrow or Friday if FedEx behave ;) So I hope I will have some positive results this weekend :D
