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.

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 |

Cortina uprights and hubs, new bearings, fully reconditioned but probably need painting. £200?? More like £30, at a push. You can pick up Capri 2.8i uprights with hubs etc for £50< Pair of Princess 4-pots, fully reconditioned but without pads. £200?? Under £100 I'd have thought... 5 K&N Jupiter wheels, 6x14 with Yoko A021s (barely used), excellent condition, slight curb on spare £300? Probably not far off the mark there  |

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!

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 |

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.

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.

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.
