What do I need to know ?

I have hardrace one's to base the shape on,but they are not anti lift.

What do I need to know to design my own brand? What can be done different to make them better?

Hi Chris,

The Whiteline one seems to be the most well regarded.

Here is a link with some pics next to the oem part.

Yes whiteline, maybe making the spacer thicker will add a touch more castor(which is all a ALK adds)

Okay great .... if you would be willing to do that you could have a free set of ours when we have them for sale

or if your not interested in them i'm sure we can sort something else out

Yep ,... wouldn't be looking to make a direct copy - just something to base the designs on as the hardrace stuff doesn't add the castor and I need to see how it works . If I planned to copy them I wouldn't be posting on a public forum - but I know what your saying....

just think we can offer these at much better price's + want a set on mine

and before anyone says it... because I know they will , I understand whiteline are the pro's in this stuff and have been making them for years - I'm just interested in seeing what we can do .. plus it gives me a new project

If scoobynewbie72 decides not to lend you his i have a pair sitting in my garage you can borrow.

is the bush in the middle solid?

13 August 2008, 21:19

Not solid, but reasonably stiff polyurethane, with a metal insert.

grease nipple like the perrin ones would be good

I maybe way out here ..... but does anyone think it is poss to make them adjustable ... so you can adjust them to suit between .5 and 2 deg??
I have heard perrin use spacers to make them 2 deg
