Upright Geometry
Knowing there are people out there playing with elaborate computer models for suspension hopefully this is a simple request.
Can somebody supply with basic governing geometry for a cortina upright in terms of upper and lower ball joint centres, track control link centre etc
with repspect the wheel bolting surface and centreline for example so i can pop it on the old drawing board.
Any info will be appreciated as it means i dont need to pull one off the car!
Cheers

Yup! Darren sent me a lovely PDF with all the dimensions on it. u2u me your email address and I'll pass it on.
Also, I'm making a solidworks model of the cortina upright based on the PDF. let me know if you want a copy of that, too.
Actually, gotcha: it's only the dimensions for the cast upright, so not the hub or balljoints.

Just noticed that the drawing I posted lacks lateral locations of ball joints 
For suspension modeling, I've been using upright geometry I got second-hand. Haven't cared too much because it's been for
illustrative purposes only.
If the info from Blueshift doesn't answer your questions, I can locate the Locost NA post I got my info from. Pretty sure it didn't have
TRE location, though.

cheers guys hopefully that gets me what i want for a first pass.
Steve, i believe roll centres are an optional extra
its only the upright geometry im intersted in...

This should fill in the missing dimensions:

(thanks to Darren of GTS Tuning for that PDF)
Still working on the solidworks model, anyone give me a shout if they want it.
