tinman 11 Posted November 20, 2014 Yes, the early ie 1500 Corsair uses same hub as mk1 Cortina, though I'm not certain on the strut itself being 100% identical. As for the M18 caliper, it is the mk2 Granada caliper and in the pic its on a mk2 Cortina leg/hub with 2.8i disc. However it does not clear with a 13" Lotus/Cortina rim. You need a 5mm minimum spacer to clear. cheers kenbex for the info on both counts there buddy :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinman 11 Posted November 20, 2014 Going back to your strut and caliper clearance saga this may also help you or not or just add to the conundrum, a pic of two sets of M16 calipers. The lower set is for vented discs but note the two different casting shapes nearest wheels side. One set was ATE the other other Girling though I cant remember which was which now. This all stemmed back to my Anglia days when trying to find a caliper to clear the Lotus rim on the Classic hub. However neither quite cleared and you cant use vented discs on Classic strut anyway without some mods as I found out but that's another story. got to admit my heads starting to spin a bit now,so many different caliper/hub/disc combinations :beer cheers for the info and pics kenbex much appreciated :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its risky I know but you would have to factor it into your profit margin and/or get the buyers to agree to cover all shipping costs in the event of returns.

tinman 11 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Maybe sell them on a guaranteed to fit basis as long as the buyer gives you an idea first on what brakes he has fitted ? Its risky I know but you would have to factor it into your profit margin and/or get the buyers to agree to cover all shipping costs in the event of returns. makes a good point with regards to brake fitment and especially covering ones self for the event of them being returned costs wise,its possible when I do re-up them as a set that I will just put on the add wich cars I know they fit for deffinate as a tried n tested kinda thing then at least I know my conscience is clear from that point of view ,I have to say I can see why nobody bothers altering these wheels to fit,i modded the vents on the first one yesterday,its repatative,time comsuming and tedious!! I noticed an auction that ended yesterday somebody selling a set of 4x 6 1/2 banded Anglia rims n they only ended at £185 so that would be big loss :tears: Edited November 20, 2014 by tinman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it can be confusing. I do seem to remember a thread on this forum that covered all the wheel variations as well quite a while back now. I didn't realise there were quite so many either. Sadly Anglia wheels are only really fit for standard Anglia's or the scrap pile. I've must have weighed in a fair few over the years. Hope you get sorted.

tinman 11 Posted August 30, 2018 I still have lots of Anglia rims if anyone needs any. must admit not very good sellers banded or otherwise I think people in general seem to prefer cortina steels over Anglia ones. don't think I will be bothering much with banded steels anymore since john brown wheels brought out a very nice and as close to cortina steel wheel alternative as possible,,check these out jbw smoothie ebay item number 183236051793 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
