adjustable TCA's
this post is purely to gauge interest not advertise as nothing been made yet
as you can no longer buy decent correct fitting pattern TCA's im having some adjustable TCA's made from standard (new) parts, as its for road use i wont need a rose joint
they mat be suitable for track but not rely sure
i cant condone £200+ when i just want my wheels straight!
the reason i ask is because the steel he need to make the adjusters is very expensive and only avaliable in 3M lengths when you only need like 6 inchs for a set,l so he said he'll make some if there is enough interest
i think they'll be at least half the price of current ones avaliable
would anyone be interested?

It Wasnt Me!
are the compbrake ones genuine ford parts thought?
Thats the problem with adj TCA's....most use pattern parts that are shite and wear out the ball joints rapido...
i'd rather pay a bit extra for genuine ford arms and get them chopped up and made adjustable.

silly question but isnt chopping these arms seriously weakening them?
there must be huge twisting forces on them under breaking and the bit chopped would be the weakest point
