Default Mardave V12 front arms

I have macined up some alloy front arms for mardave V12 cars cos some of the chaps have been breaking the plastic ones and asked for them, they are untested at the moment but will be soon, once tested they will be for sale if anyone is interested here is what they look like

Hi people I have 12 pairs of these from the first run, they have not been tested yet for fit ect but I'm sure they will be fine. Price wise you will be lookin at 15 quid a pair inc postage, a lot cheaper than I've seen on e bay

Cheers john

Nice work, look like quality arms. I just have a minor concern that in strenghtening the arms, you'll be letting the kingpins take all the force of knocks etc and in solving one problem you'd be causing another if you get me. Be interesting to see if the reduced flex helps or hinders the handling too.

mr rogers, i see your point about causing more problems else where ill be looking at making more parts out of different materials to try and stop any problems if any should occur i dont have a 'Dave' myself so will have to have a look at my mates car to see if there are any obvious weakness'

cheers john

Looking good!

Have you considered drilling the hole for the kingpin at an angle, to introduce some camber?
