They're, er... Cortina... or is it Granada

I can never remember, so I usually get both and take back the one I don't use. They look alike until you spot the difference in the distance between the ball centre and the mounting hole centres. I think....

Caps lock stuck:
Found it was often a good idea to take parts if possable to the factors/garage etc. Sometimes TVR didn't use what was in the ingrediants section on the tin.

You can fit Granny joints tho' If your're prepared to slot the 2 small holes slightly, I did this after I had a very corroded joint let go on me whilst driving through town and wanted something stronger for round II.
I measured the suspension geometery before and after and it made no difference. Also the two big important holes lined up without mods.
