Hi, does anyone here know what a G32 uses as a track control arm? need a rear offside one for MoT. Also a good source for the rather Metric looking rod end on the inner end of the rear tie rods!

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Peter

I owned a G32 for a few years, but sadly don't know where the control arms came from. Aren't they standard Ford Escort Mk III parts?

Hi, and thank you for showing there's life out there! The lower arms certainly look like they could be Mk3 Escort, using the anti roll bar as the forward link on the front like the escort, and ginetta's own compression strut on the back, no idea what the rack is at all!

Try the Ginetta Owners' Club.

Indeed, emailed the membership secretary this morning. Noticed looking around under the car on the ramp this morning that it has a huge and rather modern castor angle, rather nice to see, and the twin brake masters and balance bar as standard...

Yes it uses standard Escort MK3 track control arms at front and rear...
I just had them replaced on my G32, but use rose jointed ones now ;-)

Ah thank you for confirming that. Adjustable sounds good,have you made the rear compression strut adjustable too? Seems necessary if the arm is adjustable otherwise you are restricted by its arc of movement. I could make extras when we do ours
