who has fitted these and has any1 had any probs with them???? the reason i ask is i have heard they use Quinton Hazel TCA's and heard Quinton Hazel is just cheap sh*t.

 

Mine are fine

They are reinforced aswell when they weld them

 

Got a set but not fitted them yet, but they look ok. People off here have them & say they are fine.

 

loads of people use them they are fine

 

Plus I think you can get the bit with the ball joint on replaced for about Ł35 iirc!! from compbrake

 

I've got a pair for sale Ł50 +delivery.

 

all after market TCA's use shit ball joints...

mine went after about 50 miles on the car

 

Never had any problems with mine.

 

mine are just fitted. looking good so far

 

I have also discovered this. ALL the aftermarket TCA suppliers use the same cheap arms as basis of their conversions, and the ball joints on these are half the size of the Ford items, and it is these that wear out very quickly (3-6 months of hard use ). After experiencing the same problems as Euan (but note quite so short a mileage ), I have now had a new standard set modified and they seem to be lasting much longer .

 

Have you seen the ones AVA are doing yet Mike?

 

Will need to get a look at the set up on your car Euan when i pick mine up, already talked with tom and alan about making a set.

 

Not yet . Alan is supposed to be sending me pictures.....

 

NEIL A


They aint on my car yet Neil...


Mike Rainbird


Ill remind him

 

TAS shite!!!just a different name.

 

mines are fine

not had any problems with them

 

My cars on Alans ramp waiting on a set. He was hoping to get them last week, although I have a pair of unused Compbrake ones I'm waiting on Alans.
The fact that you will be able to put spacers in if your car is lowered really appeals to me, as you will be able to get the TCA angle back to its correct angle with a lowered car.

 

should be good on your car

saw it getting the washer bottle fixed the other week

 

Hi Euan
its all that power Alans given me, the water bottle flew out of its clips and landed on the inner splash guard, which buckled and rubbed on the tyre and wore a whole in it (splash guard not the tyre lol).
Did Alan show you the new wheel arch splash guard, another good Ł124.00 wasted at Ford.

Nah but gordy and Dave were hard at when I saw them...

It looked quite an akward job actually.

Alan has told me a few times that your car is very quick on the road...will need to get a wee shot in it

 

Hi Euan
ordered a new one from Ford and it won't fit, all the holes are about 1/4 inch out. the old one fits exactly inside the new one. You would think that someone had used the outer skin of an original one as a mould to make it.
After Gordy and Dave had a right good go at it, Alan rang me and we decided to put a patch in the old one.

Will get in touch in the summer for a meet, and give you a wee hurl. Not got as much ooomph as yours but pulls from really low down.

Stan : Alan was saying your car was coming in for some suspension mods last day i was through, will check out the new set up on your car this week when i pick up mine if its fitted.
