Hi Gary Thanks for the info. but I'm still trying to sort out which wishbones to use. Mr. Ford says that there is only two listed, offset ball with power steering or straight without. My local factors list for all mk.3 Fiestas EXCEPT 1.6i eight valve which I have. As the car was originally supplied by Stourbridge as a rolling shell & engine I am not certain what the doner was. If the builder is still in the club the reg.was J 185 JUY. I would love to know it's history. JimT
