northernchris Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hi Just got the 1st batch of arms back from the platers,we eventually decided on electroless nickle plating,same as we used to use on the gravel WRC subaru and forcus suspension arms.Said arms used to see gravel blasted at them for 3 days solid and always came out in one piece,when the underside of the car was shot to bits. Not cheap to do but they do look spot on dont you think. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 They do look good. Do they charge by surface area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hiatt Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Wat are you thinking steve??? Soon I need to fabricate some new upper wishbones for my independent racer, I want to relocate the front shocks so i need a different profile wishbone. By coincidence it used trailing arm bushes (although I've repleced them with nylon and stainless inserts. I was thinking it would be nice to have at least two bits on the racer that the paint doesn't peel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 And you take the pi$$ out of Mr Squires for his bling I'm bringing him round slowly He navigated for me yesterday and two Wildcats went home after the parade lap so they didn't scratch their paintwork, he wasn't too impressed. To be fair it was a bit tight in the trees and one of them was doing the hill rally next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernchris Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Do you want me to come over and have a look at what you want doing steve? or you are more than welcome to bring it up to the workshop. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I had thought of fabricating them myself and getting them plated, but looking at your arms I can see you would do a far better job than me! I'll give you a bell tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
