    I need some advice on re-commissioning an Historic MK1 escort race car.
    It will be prepared to 1972 Appendix K RS1600 spec.

    My questions are around a baseline Suspension and Brake components. The homologation papers seem to be written around Rally cars. I need to purchase all new, legal suspension and brakes. But keep going off on Rally setup threads and tangents. The car was originally a compression strut shell, but was fitted later with a antiroll bar. It has inboard turrets, top A arms running from inside car to top of axle at ~45 deg' angle, the tubs were cut and raised 1".

    the odds are anyone knowing this stuff wont talk about it for a variety of reasons.
    but i think for the most part there isnt anyone on here that would know
    if they did they probably wont tell anyway because they dont want to help the opposition or they dont exactly have legal cars!
