Can anyone inform me of the Front Uprights that Im running - 98 model.
I have got a set of hubs & bearings (ally) to fit Escorts 1 & 2, Mexico Rs, anglia, cortina ect but they dont fit mine. The bearings are to large for the stub axle.
I will check that Iv been sent the right part, but the discs & wheels fit the hubs so Im unsure where the mis-match is.
Do you have a live rear axle or de dion or irs? If de Dion, then you have sierra front uprights. So escort not going to fit, if IRS, then it depends i think, think there's a mix between sierra and escort there. If live axle then it's escort. But then there's a difference between group4 mk2's and others. So might have group4 bearings.
I have a live axle and have an escort front end. I bought a nice shiney set of Grp 4 hubs after being told they would fit but they are bigger. you need rs2000 front end for them to fit. I tried to get bearings that would take the smaller escort stub upto the bigger grp 4 hub but couldnt get them.

I have got RS2000 uprights (off internet). They have just aririved & look nothing like the old ones. They have a speed sensor on each axle (ABS?), no stub axel, but the hub is splined (4wd?). The discs must be on the wheel side of the hub.
you can get alloy hubs for the std(smaller) mk1+2 escort and and the larger ally hubs for the RS's. Speak to BGH who now have the FURY. I bought my std alloy hubs from Mark Fisher.
