Has anyone experience with the Super Duty Turnbuckle & Ball Stud Conversion Kit?

I don't think there's a problem with the actual turnbuckles just the cups so seems abit exspensive when you don't really need to change the turnbuckles

I bought them for my Vega RB5 and was really happy, maybe buy the tool too.

On hard crash it can bend but just one for me the whole season, you could buy two sets.

On the new Vega, I bought a screw kit and ballstuds along with turnbuckles and quality is awesome. You need some good tools like MIP Thorp hex driver on screws/ballstuds and I use a stainless screw first to make the thread.

Check eBay for the best price, I think I didn't pay as much for a set.

I think i will make an order in the next days for all this titanium stuff, i just like this High-Tech style :)

I had issues racing tonight with the kit ball cups so was just looking at this Lunsford set. It states though that it is 50mm turnbuckles, 4.8 x 10mm ball studs and 4.8 x 8mm ball studs. All of which are available through other manufacturers so I will be buying them for a fraction of the cost! :thumbsup:

Please give us the details:)

I have ordered some based on the sizes quoted in the Lunsford kit. They should arrive tomorrow so once I have them and have made sure they all fit ok then I will let you know. :thumbsup:

I ordered both the turnbuckle and hinge pin kits.

Turnbuckles went together very nice, and adjusted on the car the first time perfect without popping the cups off.

The hinge pins are slightly tight, but after my first race day on them they feel fine.

One thing, I bent the LR outer hinge pin. I have no idea how though. The hub and rear arm are fine and show no signs of damage. I'm thinking, somehow, I bent it on assembly. Again, no idea how.
