Hello, I am after something that is probably rarer than the proverbial hen's teeth. In November 2019 I sent my wishbones to Andy at AB Performance as one needed a bit of remedial work on a bracket. Andy thought they were a bit lightweight and so he said he would make me a new pair slightly beefed up. I believe he had a new production unit coming on line Feb/March 2020 which, would have allowed him to make me new wishbones.

Very sadly for Andy AB Performance was liquidated in February 2021 and everything has been removed from the site. I don't know where my wishbones are now but it could be they just became scrap metal. I can't get upset with Andy even though he did promise a couple of times in the Autumn 2020 to send them back to me; after all he has lost his business. I have tried contacting him recently through LinkedIn but no joy.

So my question is does anyone have a set of lower wishbones for a Malone Skunk that they could either let me have or have copies made thereof? It's one hell of a longent but I have to ask as without I will probably have to scrap the car. Living in France as I do having some made up here is next to impossible, there just aren't the little industries that exist in the UK for such things and since moving the car now is next to impossible I need someone who can come round to my workshop.

Cheers

Philip

Mike, yes sorry about the email address. I cannot for the life of me find out how to change it. If someone could give me a pointer I'll put the correct address.

Cheers

I received excellent news today from the liquidator of AB Performance who, has been able to contact Andy Bates for me. My wishbones are packaged up and waiting to be sent to me so that's a result. Still a huge shame though that Andy had to close up shop.
