    Still hot from the welding! We're leaving for BDC momentarily, but we're going to see if we can fit them to the DW R32 before we go.

    Yeah we got them on in time. They worked brilliantly, but we had to use 40mm wheel spacers to clear the upright, so I'm going to make a small revision to the design so you don't have to make your car look mexican or run weak wheels.

    Great! Another thing I will have to buy for my car! :)

    Was the wheel catching on the upright static or on lock?

    Obviously I already have these for the z32, but has anyone got a spare r32 upper arm so I can compare to a z32 arm? Been asked by loads of people to make them for the z32 (dont have time). Maybe just use the upper arm from r32 for easy fit on the Z32?

    Unlikely unfortunately as we have to produce in large quantities to make parts affordable, and we'd struggle to get enough customers.

    Not until I confirm the design unfortunately. Production doesn't take long as it's all manufactured in the UK, but I can't promise anything until I get and test the second version prototypes and confirm they are perfect.
