Does anyone have a pair of lower wishbones going free?

[crackedfinger]

Currently talking to the usual suspects (Power, Tvr Car Parts)and there is a delay in the production of new wishbones. I'm after a pair of front lowers (still - this is why I missed the brands hatch track day & I still haven't got the car back togther) for sale/ going spare or know who to ask?

Getting that feeling that I'm going to miss what is left of sunny weather ....

Have you tried Adrian Venn as he's usually got spare bits knocking around (assuming he can find them).

You want to have a chat with these guys. PDQ Developments in Blackpool.

Tubular steel wishbones and they are about half the weight of the originals. They did the cut out vent conversion for the Sagaris as well

Seem to remember hearing the Penisular were making their own rear top ones with adjusters, may be they also do the fronts.

Peninsular did the tubular adjustable front uppers ages ago (I have had them on mine for @3 years now). They did say they were developing adjustable rears ~ but I've not heard that they came to fruition.

PDQ's look nice, note the improved access to the lower damper & is it me or have they managed to get it a bit more inboard to make the damper more upright? Pity they didn;t change the lower BJ to something more readily available :nudgenudge:

Will be interesting to see if the rose-jointed versions will come with screwed camber adjustment..

Blimey! Look at the price though! I paid £90 each (+VAT) for mine in January.
Just noticed though ... that £380 is for a set of uppers and lowers isn't it?

Thnaks for that - I am afraid he does not have a pair in stock (lots of one side in stock though if that helps anyone).

The PDQ wishbones do look very nice, but they do state they are for tracks. I have hard that tubular wishbones don't give a very nice ride quality, has anyone had experience with running a set from PDQ at all?

Hi

I sent you an email earlier regarding a pair of lower front wishbones that are available - did you get it?

Are lower fronts that rare? I was planning on replacing mine (and the upper rears) as part of this winter's maintenance package.

John Quick showed me a pair when he was delivering a pair to fit locally. He tried to sell me a pair for my road going Griff but mine are OK at the moment. Give them a call I'm sure they'll be happy to help with any queries you might have.
