Marco , Before you even think about Mag arms , let me know what colour , age , condition and track you are considering ! These are a Minefield , believe me , nothing is easy , everyone has a different set of problems , bearing carriers are different , the bearings are un obtainable and the arms are all now so old they have Magnesium cancer. Im not trying to put you off , believe me , i looked into this before i put steel arms on mine ( why i want my old ones back as spares ) . I know TAL are your mates , but even they cant give you new ones , the only way to be sure ! Cheers mate

Tony

Thanks for the info ,i will bear that in mind and i know you are not putting me off, i have heard something like this before , i haven't done the deal yet i will ask mike/dave for a honest opinion

the colour of the arms are blue they are of a grp a escort ,5/6yrs old and most defo not new , i was just going to use them on any track , i am very happy with what i have got now tobe honest , but i thought i might be better of having the mag stuff because the offer is there thats all really and i know i would have the same set up and would be a bit lighter take about 20kg of the car my car is putting on a lot of weight

the car weighs 1250 kg now it's putting on the pounds in it's old age


cheers marco
