fabricated lower wishbones

[combine]

Am going to get some made for front so platform shocks will work and also strengthened upper mounts. Anyone done this and got any pics ?

I am going to make something similar to this but haven't got around to it yet as it means stripping one off the car for measurements.



My plan was not to put a square hole but to weld 2 upright lugs to carry the lower end of the shock and obviously without the side mount, withe 2 extra holes for the ARB/Tie bar

Looked into metal section size, 4mm steel top and sides with 3 webs on the underside. The ball joint end would be 8mm steel about 200mm long

Top mount is altered and strong


This is how I butchered the original, I had to cut away to get the bracket in but welded it back up again leaving access to the shock bolt

Is this an exact fit ie made for a wedge ? If so who makes them ?

The new arm isn't for a wedge, i think it is for a Sagaris. It looks too long for a wedge but the principal is the same.
As the pic shows, they are from racing greentvr at £112
