      I don't see that it matters!
      Anyway, how's this for a shot in the dark. I'm fairly certain that the TVR Tasmin used Cortina lower wishbones/suspension arms [with Granada hubs /upright] .If I'm correct then maybe the likes of David Gerald TVR could help.

        On a tangent, how about converting to wishbone off a Locost. I have a LocUst which uses cortina front suspension and it is a worthwhile upgrade coil overs can transform the handling. Not done it yet, my time is spent on my Land-Rover and Marlin.

          I don't think your locost uses the front sub frame of the cortina like the Berly dose, have you tried contacting Danny Nelson? He can usually help with berlinetta spare parts.

            I seen a video where a guy used locost wishbones but there was cutting and welding involved and am really not wanting to do that. I hope I can find one as it’s stopping the rebuild and the front end is nearly complete. 😢😢

                      Cortina mk3/4/5 owners club? Some one might have spare. What exactly is wrong with your existing unit assuming you have one?

                        I made a mess of putting the new bush in and the sleeve that it gets pressed into came away from the actual wishbone bending it out of shape. It’s not aligned now so don’t want to use it if I can get another one. Will try that other place you suggested. Thanks.
