Just thought id share these with you...



offending broken bracket.. i literately found the other half was balancing loose and just picked it off the wishbone



new stronger bracket pre treated



old and new drop link.. the old nut sheared off the stem of the old drop link and looks like Uri Geller has been bending drop links evil


so wishbone removed its off to the welding lord and then treated ready to put back on doing half hour to an hour per night as i dont want to freeze my nads off!... theres no rush at the moment anyway thumbup

Where did you get the uprated cross members ?you can now position exactly in the right place by fitting the dtop link then tack.

No matter what i do my drop links they are on a slight angle which is not good.

Mine broke a couple of years back,didnt go down the uprated bracket route,had a guy at work weld the crack up and then add some rod down each side to add strength,think the leven drop links reduce the ammount of stress placed on the arms when the ARB twists....

Adrian Venn on here can supply the uprated plates,then weld them to the arms,other outlets may also have them ....
