TIB3300 389 Posted January 19, 2017 If you buy a face lift, its easy enough to convert and make the holes smaller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cortina-city 141 Posted January 19, 2017 crumple zones different on facelift, though it will still work, in theory both sides would be replaced to make it an even frontal smash n crumple :shocking: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk2 addict 7 Posted January 20, 2017 Ive got one chassis leg complete with the other bit attached and one with just the chassis. Didnt realise there was a difference! The one I have complete is probably mk3 as its brown. Maybe il buy mk5 inner wings with chassis attached Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 Mahem 5 Posted January 20, 2017 If you buy a face lift, its easy enough to convert and make the holes smaller Thanks -ill probably ask you to explain if i end up with facelift part but heres hoping. Ps do you know the two hole sizes (pre and face lift) so i can tell easily even i end up with pattern part? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheffieldcortinacentre 529 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) The hole is about half the size, I seem to recall the the leg is a different thickness/depth, The mk5 one is Def thicker than a facelift mk3. There's more differences than you'd think. Hard to show without pics. The sub frame mounuts are all in the same planes but aren't a simple mix &match. You'd be better trying to repair or hold out for a full repair piece. I can post you a paper pattern of the correct lower front one if you p.m. your address.
