Alloy front arms for V12
hi not sure if anyone will be interested in these, but a few of the lads at a local club have been snapping the front arms on their cars and they asked me to machine some alloy ones up and here is the result,
they have not been tested yet but will be in the next week or so just putting them out there to see if there is any interest i machied 12 pairs up in the first batch and if they go well will be for sale. they are machined from aircraft spec aluminium pm if you are interested cheers john |

Hi the price will be around 15 quid posted I was talking with the driver who asked me to make them and he rekoned the brace wouldn't be needed, however once tested it wouldn't take much programing to put tapped holes in for the brace, what ill probably do is put them in the next batch anyway and leave it upto the individual
Cheers john |

Hi John, i'd love a set for my brushless caterham.
Just to check, they're still £15 including postage? That should save a few quid in the long run, especially the rate i'm getting through the plastic 1's! Do you take paypal & if so, what address do i make payment to? Thanks in advance, Baz

The front arms have been tested and the only problem with them was the wheel rubbing on them at full lock easily sorted by filing a little nick in them to clear the wheel
I have 10 pairs for sale at 8 quid a pair inc postage, They WILL need to be altered slightly to clear the wheel, let me know if you are interested the next batch will be altered for clearance cheers john |

Hi all im GIXXER's (johns) test pilot..... hear are the alloy arms fitted to the chassis ( i dont belive thay need any material removing to aid full lock as thay allow plenty of lock in std form and i had no probs getting around a twisty track with jap 46's on the front) .... i run my front arms with a few deg of castor and the same with the alloy ones... John is going to make up a spacer kit to put in place of the nuts (see photo) diffrent sizes to alter casterr and ride hight which will make the front end a bit more tuneable... The arms are a perfect fit all round just remember to add a dab of loc tite to the screws
im going to add the front brace not shown in the photos as it can be used to add or remove camber ( thus the reason for the o rings under the spacing happy racing Lee |
