what i mean is to have a beam made to 6 degree is old news, its been done for years and years now, some rally teams did it but were not ment to.
lots of tunners now have a so called there own style 6 degree set up.
bayjoo seams to be talked about alot with makeing theses beams . but then there is his cut, the fabb mans cut, the tunners cut , the beam ends up costing a shite load by time every one gets there bit added on.

thing is how does any one realy no they are getting the right thing for there money???

thanks steven

show off

looks nice mark , is that made from t45??

on some of the works cars the pick up points were modded to help the pick up point more .

my car is running a wrc rear cradle, but on setting up my fiesta dominic made a few modds to the pick up points to improve it over standard .

this is a photo of mine its a gordon vincent cradle as far as we no ( before its had its pick up points modded)

think what i need to do is come up with a better setup that can be bolted in standard pickup points that uses standard turrets etc but works better ,as we know the standard beam isnt very good , you get aggresive camber
change , plus the wheel base alters as the arm swings in an arc

i had an idea a while ago ,the only thing needed to change would be the diff cover as the billet one i would supply has pickup points on it for lower links the rest would just bolt on your beam and throw the standard arms in the bin lol
