Got these arms in a box of spares when i bought a series 1 and a mk3 cab so i presumed they were for one of these but they arent the same one is straight and one is cranked

The straight one:



The cranked one:



The pair see the difference:


The part Nos , not they will probably mean anything to anyone but the company who supplied them :



anybody got any ideas ??

Tried looking round ebay for some the same but no joy

 

TAS....trans auto sport from preston.....http://www.tas.uk.com/

Think they went BANG a little while ago mate...

thanks very much mate according to there web site the part No's i have are both for my car just weird how one is cranked and one isnt

 

tried ringing them the line is dead

 

if you weigh up the pics, the thay will fit the same albeit handed as they should be , one has the whole arm cranked and the other has the hole part set at an angle, these would fit as a pair i reckon... like so,, no autographs for the artwork please

 

thats what i thought i think its gonna have to be jack it up and try it but according to that site there right for my car .

What goes either side of the rose joint though ?

Ive got a full polybush kit to fit but i dont wanna start fitting it till i get these on

ps loving that drawing dave looks like it should be pinned up on the fridge

 

there shoule be some spacers that go either side to pack the rosejoint centrally in the opening, i suppose you could use several washers either side or a small lenght of metal pipe cut off at the right length to slide over the bolt either side.

 

just seen these spacers in broms kit.. top right hand side...

 

So what happens to the inner tca bushes not used ?

Any idea where you could buy the spacers ?

The place the arms are from has gone tits up

 

nope,

as i say, you could probably get away with getting a small length of pipe the right OD and cut 4 pieces off with a hacksaw

 

looks like thats what ill be doing either that or it will be another lot for ebay

 

I can do you some spacers mate....the are just machined bar with a hole bored through the middle you'll have to have a trip to lancaster to collect....the turbo's are 12mm inner tca's? would just need the dimensions of the housing on the X member and the width of the ball in the rose joint.....

The rose joint replaces the inner tca joint......

you got a rough idea of price and a contact no i can reach you on pm me if you want

 

The rose joint spacers (if done proper) should go part way into the rose joint, so a bit of machining may be necessary.

We have them in stock in stainless steel made specifically for our sized rose joints.



Ours are offset spacers done like that to keep the original factory castor settings. Some makes of adjustable TCA's will push forward the castor by a small amount if the r/j spacers are central.

The cranked and straight arms make no difference, if you draw a line from the centre of the ball joint top it should be straight right through to the centre of the rose joint.

 

thats easy
stright one is off a s1
cranked one off a s2
normally
if one a s1 make no diffance as you can ajust the castor angle
id its a s2 then by one of my tie bar kits
