Source for lower front wishbones

Post by dern »

First post on here so hello to all :)

I bought an rx-7 engined stylus from antinuck (I think that's his user name) and noticed on return from a track day at Abingdon on Friday that my front lower driver's side wishbone has a bend in it where the trailing leg is welded to the bit that holds the sherpa balljoint (hopefully that makes sense). The bones have a sherpa ball joint and rosejoints at the chassis end.

Does anyone know a supplier for these bones or will I have to get some made up. If the latter can anyone recommend someone please.

I have PM'd stylussprinter on the off-chance he still makes them but his post saying that he did is pretty old now.

Many thanks,

Mark

Thanks for all the info Rob. When Matt gets back to me about the pins it sounds like the perfect solution :)

As the paint hasn't cracked around the bend I suspect it may have been like that for a while but now it's there it'll prey on my mind on those fast left handers ;)

Superb cars though, really pleased with this one that Tony (Antnicuk) built and quite happy to track, break, repair and repeat as the handling is out of this world and the power is very intoxicating.

Regards,

Mark

All sorted now thanks to Rob and Matt.

As much as I'm looking forward to going on holiday with the family it is kind of getting in the way of me playing with the car ;)

Cheers,

Mark
