Kick ass! Didnt I read that these will be around $150?  lets see the arms. Sean thread on PBB said they will included tabs to weld on most arms and they are going to make 6 bolt arms too.

This photo is a stock knuckle that has been modified. The production knuckles will be all new and thicker (in the housing) than the stock knuckles.

Target price is $150 per knuckle. Tabs will be developed that allow stock arms to have two aditional holes.
We also plan to make 6 hole steering arms.

No these have not been tested yet.
Castings will get lot tested, we are not planning to x-ray each part.
Still working on production, it's gona be awhile yet.
Our target price is $150 each knuckle, not including arms.
We are looking at 6 hole forged and Billet high steer arms.
Also those that already have arms will be able to use an inexpensive weld on tab.

FYI these will be thicker than stock cast knuckle so they will be stronger.

The one in the photos above is a stock knuckle that had a plate added to the top. The fininshed product will be all new material.

Chris you guys need to seriously think about making the steering arms suit both Left and Right hand drive vehicles. Its not hard to do just make both arms with 2 TRE holes. There is a market for these in Australia and i imagine a few other countries as well.

The shipping and duty fees make it too expensive. A set of high steer arms cost $199 here in the US. The same arms sent to Oz cost them around $500. At this price they are just too expensive to sell in any volume.

Willy Mammoth

Chris, Could you license another company to make them over there? Just a thought :idea:

I would say $450Aus landed here at the most and for a decent set of arms this is cheap. I think you would be surprised how many people would buy these if they were available. There is a hell of a lot of Companies here now importing custom Products from the US.

WHITE_TRASH

Yup I bent the tierod pretty good.  Nothing hit the link either, if it did Im sure it would have at least scratched the rattle can off of my front housing but there is no scratches.  My only guess is my strong arming of the wheel did it in.  Adrenaline and beings pissed off will do damage.....
