how come you just didn't make the arms? Doesn't seem to be much to it or are they cheap enough not to warrant the time+parts? Is it going to be track only(mainly)?

Franky cost of the whole lot all 4 corners £830 delivered + £40 duty 
if I had no work coming through the door then fabricating them up may have been an option but locating the rod ends that you can adjust without removing is difficult plus these are fantastic quality, Mike as for the weight the front lower arms are heavier but very reassuring
The build is for both doubt if a trailer will be required

If its like the kit car stuff(which I guess it is) they'll be normal rod ends in a threaded tube with a lock ring?

Cheers Franky just been looking at your build thread of the M powered car, god them videos are great inspiration for me
Had enough of bodywork for a while so seeing as suspension is on topic thought I need to make tracks on the rear end braking spent enough ££££ this last couple of months on suspension and a full set of dash clocks so decided to do the rear disc conversion myself
spent half of boxing day researching the web on discs calipers PCDs cable entry positions and of making sure there man enough for the job in hand, all I can say is that the calipers are lucas from an English rear engine car (plenty of stopping effort) and the discs are from a rover 827 I went for these as there 260mm diameter and the stud pattern 114.3 ( don't like them conversions when you have about 9 stud holes all over the place) all I had to do was turn the centre out 4mm (RESULT) the other good thing is that the handbrake cable enters the same direction as it is intended on the drum brake set up and should be out of the way of shafts and suspension and no nasty bends, during the next couple of weeks I fabricate the conversion brackets and share, maybe if it works well when I finnish the car I might make a few kits up for sale, obviously the rusty suspension is for mocking up purposes only

Terry I think you and Franky will end up with the same colour cars.
Your car has come a long way since I saw it, well done. You do have a fantastic facility to work on it though - you deserve credit for that too.
