Hi all, 

sorry I didn't respond sooner. Changing jobs - long story.

Anyway, the pre-73 V6 cars had a CORTINA Mk2 GT axle (or ocassionally 
as Salisbury diff one). Many of the post-80s cars had a Capri axle 
which, as someone else mentioned, should be shortened to fit within 
the standard V6 coupe shell (that's why Mantulas have slightly flared 
rear arches), but often people skimped and the wheels will sit 
slightly proud of the rear arches when viewed in plan.

The problem is that even some early cars have been retrofitted with 
Capri axles, as they are easier to find. Bottom line really is that 
you'll need to find out what the axle in YOUR car is NOW. Somewhere 
they'll be a part number which you can match against Ford UK 
catalogues.

On the issue of bump steer and handling kits, I've no experience of 
these although they sound good and I know a number of people have 
devised their own bump-steer solutions. 

Cheers,

Mark
