HAHA! I spent about 5 mins looking at mine the other day. Couldn't figure it out so did the only proper thing.

Walked out the garage annoyed.



I'd be interested to see what replies you get and any pictures.

If you have Cortina uprights there are some handy holes already threaded probably for disk dust shields. I used these to mount mine. I used shopping trolley tubes for the main uprights, suitably bent by cut and shut to miss the tyres then inch by quarter to go under the wings themselves.

Bang on. I fitted mine last night and the above picture is correct.

Just make sure you dont put the calipers on upside down just like I didnt as they wont fit
