Custom Tie Bar and Wishbone setup

[Jonlem]

A few of you may of read recently on Ollys thread (Trackdaynova) that he has changed to a new style rose jointed TCA and tie rod setup, the original setup he used still retained bushes in the TCA's which will not last long when a lot of castor is applied.

The kit as seen on Ollys car is now available to anyone interested, the full kit only requires the oe bottom ball joint as everything else required is supplied in the kit.

The full kit is as follows :

TCA with inner rose joint fixings x2
Adjustable tie rods x2
Crossmember brackets x2
Heavy duty 1/2" rose joints and locknuts x2
1/2" bolts for inner tca x2
All other fixing bolts and side spacers
Fully painted although powder coating can be arranged

The OE inner TCA hole in the chassis has to be taken out to 1/2" to accept the new bolts which can be done with the engine in place. the drill bit is not supplied with the kit.

There are no other modifications to be made to the chassis although I do strongly advise that the crossmember is checked for any rot or damage before this kit is installed as the lowered brackets do increase the leverage on the crossmember.

I would also advise that a HH (or similar) strengthening kit is fitted to the vehicle as this puts a lot of strength into the areas around the crossmember brackets.

This kit is based upon the HH kit, just without the costs, once fitted the vehicle will require the geometry to be set and combined with a pair of eccentric top mounts you will have 100% adjustment of the complete front end suspension.

Below are the pictures of the setup, I do not have any pictures of the crossmember brackets off a car but I will get some as soon as possible.












The full kit as described above is £450 plus delivery of £10 to most areas in the UK, options to suit other vehicles may come at a later date and a modified set to suit a Nova with a F28 will be sorted shortly.

These kits are made to order so if anyone is interested can they please PM me and I will get back to them with all relevant info.

Thanks for looking

How long will these kits be avaliable for? Would be look mid-late next year... PM if you want.

did you manage to get a price for the setup but with a tca bush instead of rose joint?or would the fully rose jointed set up be suitable for a road car?

[trackdaynova]

adam - I am selling my kit that has a bush on the inner TCA, but RJ'd at the tiebar end.

All you'd need to buy is some lowered tiebar brackets from Jonboy that fix onto the front panel.
