need a pic of a bare 3 door/rs500 rear arm please somebody help me

 

why there no difference on a 3 door apart from the anti roll bar mount is on the outside of the arm and the usual extra bit welded on the beam for the 500

 

well what it is pete i listened to fuckin fitz he said just get 4i ones there exactly the same well turns out theres no holes for the abs sensors trust me listening to him now im proper pissed off just wanted to see a pic of a 3 door one

 

teach you to go eleswhere just use sapphire cossie ones with the sapphire roll bar as its thicker than the 3 door one plus there easier to get if you bend one I have a few in stock with poly bushes fitted if needed I also have proper 3 door ones

 

ive got saph ones but the rollbar dont bolt up in the same place thought you would have known that

 

as I said dummy use the sapphire roll bar

 

bit harsh that mate

 

 

so what your saying is use the saph arms and saph rollbar and i will have to fabricate where it bolts on to the underneath of the car ?

 

cus theres no way that it will fit otherwise ive just been back under it with the saph stuff

 

as I said just use sapphire stuff job done job finished end of story the end

 

I am sure that a saff rear arb won't bolt up to the 3 door chasis regardless of which arms you use! I remember when building my white one with saff rear arms that we ended-up cutting the arb mounting points off them and re-locating them to the outside so we could use the 3 door arb as the saff one wouldn't fit

 

as spadge said they dont line up. Even if you do use a saph ARB

 

news to me as brom used to run sapphire gear under his 3 door then he changed to an escort roll bar

 

right has anybody got a picture of a 3 door rear anti rollbar for the reason i have a 4i one and if there the same ill only have to buy rear arms. dont it just piss you off when people tell you the wrong thing im so pissed off with fitz

 

up

 

hey dude, ask Rhys, I have a rear beam (3dr) with him. If you want to buy it let me know.

 

the rear beams are the same i need a pic of a 3 door rear arb

 

LOL, sorry I thought you wanted a rear arm..

 

but you said rear beam lol

 

Did 3 doors have ABS?

The ARB is thicker on the Cossie 3 door than on the 4i - from memory the 4i one is a tiddly 10mm or so, and the 3 door Cossie one is 14mm. I can get a pic of one of the 4i ARBs if you want it, but don't have the arms etc.

The early arms have the lugs on the outside for the long ARB, and the Sapphire has them on the inside for the short ARB.

The later arms and ARB should go on but you need to make new mountings for the shackles on the bottom of the car, but I think the Cossie beam takes a 7.5" diff while the 4i one is only 7".

 

As has been said the 4i arb is smaller in diameter but the same length etc....
If you want to do the job properly you will need a 3dr arb and 3 dr rear arms that way it will bolt in as and where it is supposed to!

 

lol whos got the rear arms and rear arb for a 3 door then

 

I do. LOL well, actually Rhys has it. (ok rear arms where the springs sit on right?)

 

yeah thats the ones ill pm you if i want them might be quiting this project
