Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok people I need some detective work done. I am chasing up the current location and use (or non use) of my original rovertym front radius arms.

Last I know is Micka sold them to some lucky fella on the western side of Australia.

I am sure that with the powers of the mighty interweb, someone can locate them and reply back to me on their where abouts.

I have attached an image of them to help jog the memory!

Cheers

have no idea where they are.

why you looking for them?

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.

so can I buy a set and sell them to you for a fee or are these ones special?

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???

were they standard length, just cranked or modded

how about making some from scratch?

I'll be honest, I could just make some from scratch by buchering some old arms. But I am actually getting a custom set of drop arms made up shortly.

I just wanted to chase these up and see if they were obtainable.

Who's making your custom set? I'd be interested in a group buy!

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

what material are they making them from?

Serg

i too would be interested depending on price.

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.

I have an easy solution. Don't lift your Rangie too high You won't need them full stop.

Just kidding, hope you find them.

Thanks
Just so you know at a minimal 2" lift you effectively reduce your castor to 0

I hope I find them too, they have slight sentimental value to me

Have you posted this on AULRO? There are plenty of WA guys on there.

Not as yet, they were sold to a OL member so I thought this would be sucessful, supose it doesn't hurt to wack it on there aswell. Cheers

I realise that, it's not too bad but after what happened to me I don't give a toss anymore. i'm turning into a cheap bastard
