Thank you, that is helpful. Now I think I might be looking for a used anti roll bar.

105e crossmember measurements

I wonder if any of you 105e owners could give me a measurement of the distance between the pickup points on the front x/member for the inner ends of the left and right track control arms (the distance between the two holes)???

Yes I agree Milton does have some nice things, that picture I used of the adjustable arms is from their website. There is still a chance that my arms won't need to be adjustabe if the geometry works out but I will not know until I get my strut conversion done. I will also be using their Hi Ratio ste...

Cortina Mk2 adjustable track control arms

Thought I would ask because I don't really want to do this myself and chance wrecking new control arms, does anyone know of a business here in the States or Canada that can safely and economically convert them to adjustable? It is common to do in the U.K. but I have never really heard of anybody doi...

Nice car, I used to have an early Mk2 that I owned from 1973-1984 I now wish that I never sold it on. Here is a pic of it, paint looks funny because its in the process of being polished back to life. Original paint was red befor this orange. http://www.enfostuff.com/forum/userpix/413_anglia_lotus_16...

It's always good to know what parts will interchange, I too am working with Mk2 struts but I think I will need to shorten the strut tube for it to work well in my application. I will be converting the struts to coil over as well as cutting them down so I will be looking for shorter inserts, how much...

I chose Panasports because they're specific to the Mk1 or shall I say made for the offset. Back in 1993 I purchased a set of Superlites from a distributor in London and when I received them they fouled on the lower strut so I put them on my Sunbeam Alpine instead. I still have a set of LoCort wheel...

I must say that I havn't seen a Mk3 Cortina running around on the streets for a long time but I havn't been around Langley for a long time either, I have been spending most of my time on The Sunshine Coast these days. Steve I will have to talk to you sometime re wheel offsets when I figure out what ...

The fellow that you are thinking of is Randy Custer, His car was very light and well prepared although it looked like it was painted with a broom. Randy's Anglia would routinely take FTD by a large margin. I hope you are putting a roll bar in your Anglia, I know mine saved my bacon. As far as gettin...
