I want them, I am hoping they have found their way to a not so used vehicle or a colasped build project and would like to have an oppourtunity to buy them back. I am most probably pissing in a gale force wind, but it's worth a try.
and before anyone mentions buying another set from rovertym... I already did.

You can buy a set if you like. If they do infact arrive and are the same as the set pictured (bar colour of course) I may consider it. But not with the current exchange rate, they will cost you more then I am willing to offer
I would first like to find my original set as I do beleive they are special.
Also does anyone else own the front rovertym arms? and if so do they have pictures available???

PM me with all your details along with the vehicle specs (front suspenion height, including bumpstop clearance).
Once I have details on cost I will get in touch. Just so you know the arms I am looking to have made up are of solid one peice construction (like snake racing drop arms), they will not be cut and welded standard arms.
So no one knows the were abouts of my old arms :( I will consider them MIA

Well there are two options now. I have just got rough pricing to date, and it appears the solid one piece construction might have to give way to a welded bush ring design.
Main reason solid construction machined bush housings = $2000+
So I looked at the next option;
The welded bush rings are made of 10mm (approx) tube welded to a one piece arm (similar in appearance to the Rovertym arms).
The arm itself is made from 32mm 350grade steel.
Cost for the above radius arms will be around $1050 + bushes. Sounds steep, but swivels do not need to be slotted, pinion angles remain parallel at factory alignment (just with a higher angle at each universal). Engineering is a possibility (unlike the Rovertym arms). They also keep the chassis bush in alignment at rest (a common point of stress in many land rovers that have been lifted in excess of 2-3").
Originally this was just going to be a once off design to suit my application (4-5" lift) but after further discussion two sets can be produced (to suit 2-3" lifts). If anyone is seriously interested I will give all details when the designs are completed and ready.
I hope to have more info in the next week or two, and will get some before and after shots and some on road testing completed to comment.
