Can anyone clarify what Ford (Sierra!!!) the front uprights belong to, for a 1998 4.5 Chim. Want to keep mine on the road while I tart up a spare set of uprights.

On another note I've a 92 Griff, non vented discs type, anyone know if later discs and calipers from Chim would fit?

For those going to Le Mans, see ya there...............

All very quiet......I think you'll find that "uprights" is a generic term for Macpherson Struts. Not a suspension configuration used by TVR for Griff/Chims. Suggest you remove front wheeel (after jacking up safely!!) and take a shufftie.

On braking, is that the rear ?? Believe all Giffs/Chims had vented front - suggest Griff 500 is way to go for "cheap" but recommended upgrade.

The uprights are matched with the callipers and are from Sierras/Grannys etc. Need to be very careful to ensure that they are an exact match as there can be a variation of a few mm which is enough to cause problems.
