        Will post the weight of the wishbone in a week or so.

        They use stock size bushings.

          Albert,

          They look too nice to use !

          Well done on replicating them.

          Any chance you'd share the spec of your car and any relevant photos, maybe in a separate thread?

          Wish you lived beside me, and my S2 ideas could be brought to life.

          Kind regards.

                  Yes, PA-12 is the material used to make that part, that is the alloy rose holder. Yes, it is will be included in the price.

                    Rose joint? Albert what rose joint are you using in yours?

                    I'm sure others would like to know where to source such an item and what is adequate for just street use? Thanks!

                      > Rose joint? Albert what rose joint are you using in yours?

                      I will be providing rose joint with the set. I hope the rose joint is what I have circulated on the picture with red colour.

                      As for the other part of the question "This product is legal for racing vehicles only and should never be used on public highways."

                        Nice Albert...but one very important question that nobody has asked...

                        How well will the rose joint stand up to long term use in adverse weather conditions and normal day to day use? Here in the USA we use salt or sand or a mix of both to clear ice & snow off our roads. Will the rose joints last? No dis-respect Albert but gotta ask.

                          The rose joint is made out of the same material that original part was made. The bearing is hevy duty sport bearing. All of the parts are made with best poible materials.

                          Should last very long, it was made for heavy duty use in rally environment.

                          The only thing I would be concerned is the bearing it self. I don't think anything can happend to the rose joint. It there is any problem with the bearing you can easily replace it on your own.

                          Rose joint is made form PA12 this is the same material that parts for ships and other heavy duty equipment.

                          [edit] Just found out that the rose joint is made with PA-12 not PA-11. PA-12 is stronger that PA-11. Edited previous post.

                            No offense, but why are youre wishbones almost twice the price from the ones that are already on the market?



                            Are they that much better?

                              Do they come with the Rose joints also ? almost half the price is them.
