Hi people.....This week i will have finished a set of front upper arms......These will give you a variable camber adjustment.....i would like to see who would be interested in such a thing.....i havent worked out a fixed price yet although theres quite a bit of work in these so i wont be giving them away......If theres enough interest i will do the sums and let you guys know.....there will be a percentage that will be donated to SAU for all sales made........ but those that will be interested should know the going cost on these ...not to mention the importance of trying to save those expensive tyres on track days!

Thanks

after pricing up what it will cost to make the arms properly i dont think its viable to make them on a large scale and sell them ....theres just not enought interest not to mention theres most likely an offset bush thats available to give you more camber but none adjustable....i will still be making them...but most likely just for my own use...profile cutting,pipe bending,bush's,powder coating,plus the materials,my fabrication time and a donation to the club brings the cost to $450 a pair....something i think people will not pay

ok guys...heres how we make things.....First we make a jig for the item.....This ensures all our parts fit and are exactly the same......we make a shaft up for all the mounting points then eitheir drill a hole and bolt the material to the jig during the manufacturing process or make it a nice slide on slide off fit.....where the bush's fit on the arms i have machined down a peice of pipe the exact bush and on the bolt end i got a peice of solid bar and drilled a 12mm bolt hole through it(this is the size of the bolt on the outer side)As you can see we have all our mounting points covered.......As you can see we then remove the bolt then product can then be swung away and lifted off the jig........This jig has been made double sided.....the rear of the jig is used for left arms and the front is used for right.....It always pay to have a bit of a think before starting to make the jig :( we then fabricate the product around this jig.....i will post the units being made if people are interested

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
