Wishbones

[atom290]

I want to get some new wishbones manufactured, but having searched the web and the autosport directory I cannot find anyone!

Can anyone recommend a company that can do the job?

Nice car.
Whereabouts in the country are you?
I can recommend a fabricator near Norwich, but I'm sure you could find something near, there are tons of engineering/fabrication companies out there who could produce something to your design.

Thank you on the compliment

I use a local company to me for my fabrication work, but for this I really wanted to find someone that had experience in building wishbones.

I might try SPA

The current wishbones are lacking on 2 factors at the moment, namely they dont have any fine adjustment on the toe and camber at the rear, nor the camber for the front.

Also there is no castor adjustment, and so it is neutral. It would be good to have a little more feel as to what the steering is doing.

Im based in Swindon

hmmm I see where you're at.
well I am only going on the fact that I saw some nice looking wishbones on his shelf that he had made - I don't know whether he had just made them up to a specific design or had a hand in designing them IYSWIM.

You could try Ivan Gilmour from Procomp, they made a set of front wishbones for my westy so may be able to help.

From the site:

"In addition, wishbones or suspension components can be produced for ANY kit or specialist car, including all makes of "Seven". To a drawing, pattern or example."

Stupid question maybe, but isn't this something that ariel could do for you?
