MK1 Cortina with Capri Mklll front suspension
Colr6 replied to GhiaMk4/5's topic in Suspension, Steering, & Brakes
There is a lot more to it than just sticking a crossmember on be it escort or Capri. Things to take into consideration, engine used/ sump orientation/position of engine/ chassis mount or trying to use the crossmember mounts. The Capri outer ball joint width measurements are exactly the same as a mk1. What makes the difference on the escort / Capri is the distance from outer ball joint to wheel face. Plus mines on heavy duty ally hubs and 6x15 minilites. To do this conversion on the cheap monetary wise takes a bit of thinking about, as far as I’m concerned my thinking fabbing and time is free. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t I read you put rack extensions on ? Surly if your having to do that then it contradicts the use of a narrow crossmember and have to extend the arms to get the correct camber ? Like I said it’s a bit more in depth than just sticking a crossmember in. If we ever meet at a show it would be good to do a comparison and discuss why we did things differently. -

For the internet clever dickies, the Capri set up does work. No bump steer and 400 bhp up it’s back end. I can assure you it does fit.like any home made modifications it requires work. But if you’ve got the the money to purchase Dent/alachi stuff then crack on. -

The bits I posted the other are the C trims, know what you mean by open ended but is there something in between the two parts ? As these don’t mate up.
