Wishbones

PostPost by: Uboat » Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:09 pm

Hi,

I found out that the bolt holes in the front suspension wishbones are worn out, so I need to get replacement wishbones. Where can I find parts with original layout? I noticed that SJ offer tubular wishbones, but I would like to go the original route...

Cheers

Just get yourself some thick washers of the right size and weld them in....

Thanks,

I will probably try this. However, I learnt that Sue Miller is about to offer wishbones that look like the originals, so this might also be a solution...

I have several front wishbone pieces, some of which don't have the holes elongated. One is cracked so it is probably not worth saving. I'll see if I can dig up some closeup pictures if you are interested.

I have one Sue Miller +2 wishbone new and unused. It has been yellow cad plated but could be painted or powder coated over the plating

pm me if interested
