Stumps 311 Posted November 24, 2014 Looking to upgrade the stud pattern and calipers to a falcon 5 stud setup on my new aquired TE Cortina, how does one do this? Are there any off the shelf kits availble to suit 14 or 15 inch wheels?, and where does one get these from. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 PRO, do you need anything from my car to do the kit?, After chrissy sounds good as I'm just getting the car sorted for rego ATM. Doug, That was a sweet Cortina shame about what happened, I hope you get it all sorted, is that car a TE or TF? looks like it's got a TF grill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted November 25, 2014 When the kits supplyed id like the stub axles off the front, but most cant be bothered with that so I just tack $100 on the bill and go to the wreckers and get another pair When you ready mate im here 1 Stumps reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 cool, so the grill is a bolt on fit/ I'm not really a fan of the TE grill and I prefer the cleaner look of the TF's grill, makes the cars look cleaner in the front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dougie77 789 Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah just screw it on Cortina for life 1 Stumps reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 Hey PRO, what parts are included in the kit and what changes do I have to make to fit it as my Tina has dead stock brakes ATM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted November 25, 2014 Kit comes as a complete bolt on concern you don't have to muck around with it it all just bolts onThe only thing you have to do is change the brake line ends for the master as I cant do that unless the car is here. That and knock your retainer plates off your axles for the new ones before fitting fitting the axle bearings. I use to supply these but id never get the axles back and it stuffs a complete Cortina diff so now I don't supply them unless you don't have them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 So just to sum up what parts would you need from me in order to square up the transaction as they would be no use to me once done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted November 25, 2014 I dont need any of it. you will just have to use your retainer plates off your old axles on your new onesThe brake hoses in your car you swap 2 fittings for your new master cylinder, the rest I make to suit whats already there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 Nice, how did you go for muffler clearance the one on mine seems to sit pretty close the rear left hand side tyre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dougie77 789 Posted November 25, 2014 Not a stock exhaust but I don't remember it hitting anything Cortina for life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumps 311 Posted November 25, 2014 I'll probably have to get some pics of the exhaust up after I get the car back from getting the tranny and diff sorted, car has 2.5in sports system fitted and the muffler sits right behind the rear wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
