How much would these be worth?

[Adam]

Cortina uprights and hubs, new bearings, fully reconditioned but probably need painting. £200??

Pair of Princess 4-pots, fully reconditioned but without pads. £200??

5 K&N Jupiter wheels, 6x14 with Yoko A021s (barely used), excellent condition, slight curb on spare £300?

Not selling yet, just totting up what they're worth.

If your wanting those kind of prices it`ll be ebay for you

£200 for a set of Cortina uprights and the same for princess calipers ?

Round here you can get proper brakes for that money.... like Brembo porsche 4 pots proper with pads

Sorry to sound negative but either you are being a tad optimistic or I am well out of touch on crappy old ford bits ;D
You did ask

More like £30, at a push. You can pick up Capri 2.8i uprights with hubs etc for £50<

Under £100 I'd have thought...

Probably not far off the mark there

[Adam]

Capri hubs and uprights are completely different (macphearson strut). Cortina uprights go for loads because of kit cars. I've seen rusty old princess 4-pots go for nearly £300 on ebay!

[arthurbrown]

Well you've answered your own question then.

Get them sold.


PS... are cortina's not MacP-struts? I thought all Fords from the Zodiac on were on that set up???

saw either brembo or wilwood calipers in an ad in a mag and they were 4 pot and 71 each - wouldnt bother with 30 yr old princess ones

Yeah princess calipers are well overrated IMHO, the only bonus is they bolt straight on to the ford uprights.

A modern 2 pot sliding caliper is far better for feel and stopping power..... not to mention a shed load lighter ;D

Granada, Scorpio, normally found advertised as Cosworth calipers for vastly inflated sums

I just sold a recon set of princess 4 pots Twice on Ebay.

The 1st went for £95 to a bogus Bidder and 2nd time went for £77

Your going to have to be realistic or shrill bid the feck out of em.

[PhoenixC]

I have seen plenty of princess calipers going for £100+ on ebay but never seen them going for over £200 unless its on a mk2 strut.


Cortina hubs uprights normally don't make £100 even if its the complete front axle thats for sale. Its still possible to get complete cars for under £200.


NickB: MK1 and 2 tinas were mcpherson struts but they went back to a double wishbone setup for MK`s 3,4,5 Thats why there are so many kit cars running around with tina front suspension.

You can buy those princess callipers fully recon’d off the shelf form here:

www.brakeparts.co.uk/

for about 56 quid each.

[Adam]

Yup, thats trade in though! You have to give them your rusty ones.

Adam

[Mr_Bo11ox]

True enough... you need to add £10 for that plus postage, so not as cheap as £56 really.

Looking on the bay through the completed items, yur uprights seem to be worth this much:

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4586769806

As for the calipers, could as little as this:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/Princess-4-pot-calipers_W0QQitemZ8013273111

or as much as this:

cgi.ebay.co.uk/AP-Princess-4-pot-calipers-discs-pads-mk1-mk2-escort_W0QQitemZ8012797215

Depending on the stupidity of the buyer! Good luck!

[Adam]

Mine are extremely similar to the 2nd pair there.

Your best bet is putting them on ebay and see what they make. As long as there are plenty of people interested they will make good money, and they will definetely make more on ebay than they would anywhere else.
