I have enough material to make 5 pairs straight off (once I've done the geometry/programming and a fixture) and I need to lay my hands on a pukka balljoint to check the fit and hole positions. I'll supply them c/w plated 10.9 bolts and all-metal locking nuts ok?
Could we start a list of takers and I'll confirm a price before starting - should be about the same as from syncro hospital.

We shelved it last year.
Better things to spend money on, We have the design and could cut some tomorrow but there were a few things we weren't happy with and there are a few different designs of upper ball joint to accomodate.
There were some German ones at Mammut Park for €120 that did the job properly,angled and off set as to correct the camber and keep the arm away from the spring.
Not cheap but they did it properly.
In the absence of a syncro at the workshop to develop stuff I lost interest and bought an Iltis instead.
