    I'd want two days because i dont like rushing and i like my breaks.
    I am looking for tubular wishbones for my sport rep front and back would be interest if you are making any

      Use a Rose joint on all 3 ends James then it gives you the ability to adjust camber and caster seperatly. This is the sort of design I was looking at making:

          I have that same stuff at the shop. Could make wishbones, but they'd be so expensive, most people couldn't afford to look at the pictures of them, let alone owning one, or a set.
          Everything less than 2 bar is considered to be naturally aspirated

              Pressed steel wishbones weigh 2.3kg each.

              My tubular wishbones weigh 2.1kg each.

              I'll weigh some cast ones whan i take them off.

                    Yes, i weighd the cast wishbone and they are 2.95kg each with bushes in and no balljoint.

                    Also they are forged not cast but thats a different story.

                    Pressed steel wishbones weigh 2.3kg each.

                    My tubular wishbones weigh 2.1kg each.

                    New price for this pair of wishbones £225
