Hello peeps,

I'm renovating a vintage Yokomo YZ-10 '95 and i need a couple of new suspension arms but cannot find any anywhere, so i've decided the only thing for it is to make some.

I've thought about making them from some 10mm think nylon sheet or something similar, does anyone know if this would be any good or does anyone have any better suggestions?

I have two originals (one front & one rear) that i can measure up and copy.

Please help!
Wes

Black Delrin
On eBay shop from a company called ringwood precision engineering
Or you could google them
Delrin is cheap, easy to cut , strong , and looks production if you finish it with wet and dry sand paper (400 grit) then add some lustre with a wipe of wd40 or similar
Perfect
Hope thus helps

Is it the front suspension arms you need? I have one arm similar to the ones on the following page:

I have no use for it. It came in a box full of random spares. PM me if you're interested.
