Raceleda uprights/axle kit

[Mudgey]

Hey,
Has anyone had any experience with these units? They look pretty lightweight and i would assume not up to being used on a GT40?

Does anyone know what the specs are for these uprights?

Regards,
Jim

The Raceleda units are a replacement for a Cortina upright, but GTD & Tornado's use the Ford Granada uprights for the base design, which are larger.

Raceleda no longer do the Granada 5 bolt type item. As I understand it the rights to the Granada set up were bought by Tornado and can be obtained from them but they are now a lot more expensive. I may be wrong but this is what I was told.
Cheers

You are correct.

The Granada version was developed by ourselves in conjunction with Raceleda and when they folded we took over.

We also now have matching Aluminium hubs available.

Thanks

Ally hubs for the Granada upright are now available from Hispec Brakes at a very reasonable £65+Vat each

Here is MNR Racing site too for the Raceleda. Ralley Design has some too. You can get the Escort GP4 hub or the Cortina in four or five bolt pattern.
