I have been thinking about the front suspension & disc brakes on the
GSM, & instead of trying to find Consul 315 bits, I wonder if you
have any idea if there are hubs & discs that will fit the 1959
Anglia (100E) spindles? I may have told you the hubs/discs on there
now are Cortina & have necessitated spacers made of bits of water
pipe & homemade washers! The joys of former farmer owners! I realize
how lucky we are here to have a choice of about 45 major parts
stores within 5 miles' radius. Yet not one of them has a single part
for an English Ford!
I am sure many Anglias & other specials using Anglia bits must have
been converted to discs as well.
Is there a poly bushing kit for the 100E front suspension? Present
bushings are all shot.
Meanwhile, 2 friends & I went to Lime Rock (a really beautiful 1.5
mile road track in NW Connecticut) last Friday. I didn't have a car,
but my friends did & they are fully addicted. There were 4 half-hour
track sessions & 2 classroom sessions. A really good value and very
well run.
Hope you are all doing well with your own cars as your Spring gets
underway. We are entering our Winter Project season!
All best,
Rodger. |
