Check out my shiny new Bottom arms that my Gfs Dad has fabricated me out of shiny Stainy. I was a bit worried about the weight but theyve ended up ever so slightly lighter than the standard items plus they look sweet!!

Hes cracking on with rear radius arms now so more pics will follow!

Just a question ... do they have the tappers for the ball joints machined so they have one each way.

They look great buddy, don't want to piss on your bonfire but I'd be worried about the stainless cracking, it is pretty brittle and does fatigue, not what you want on bottom arms really, at the very least I'd be checking them regular.

I was always told NEVER use stainless bolts on suspension components .... and I never have
I think stainless is supposed to be far more brittle

They are the sort of thing I'd fit to a show car ..... but only if the car was going on a trailer. I'm not hard on cars as I drive smoothly but I have seen some seriously damaged suspsension pieces due to simple pot holes etc.

it may be prudent to have your fist (prototypes) tested mate i understand where the lads are coming from, Titanium is also extremely brittle, but is used for suspension struts on F1 cars... so they must have come up with a shape or way to treat the metal for strength. it would be nice to know how they coped under loads ?
being a pioneering forum that pushes the boundaries, the results would be welcomed with open arms..... Tom did tests a while ago for hardness of cranks.........that reminds me !!!!

TOM !! !!! !! ! ! *wink*

F1 teams know exactly how many seconds a part has run for, what it's exact history is and everything is checked over and over again. They have some of the best designers in the world doing many, many hours of testing and calulations that would make you calculator's brain hurt. They can't afford mistakes but they can afford to replace components every X miles....

Not trying to be negative ..... just like people to stay safe...
