Baby Elan top wishbones

PostPost by: holywood3645 » Fri Sep 29, 2023 7:09 pm

Are the top elan OEM wishbones (S4, but I think they are all the same) used in any other car ?
Thanks

I'm looking for 2 top OEM and a top ball joint to modify for an R&D project. They don't have to be perfect condition.

It's a phrase from a crazy world where some people seem to think a baby is born before its mother is born.

Any Elan that’s not a +2 or M100.

Later arms have a reinforcement of sorts at the inboard end. I don't know at what serial # this happened. My

Really!

I always imagined it as an Elan in which you could carry two small babies in the back seats!
