    Wishbone strengthening plates

    Most probably have seen these on facebook.

    I had 5 sets made and now only got 4 left as i fitted a set to my car.

    Laser cut from 3mm premium mild steel.

    Design based on new wishbones i brought from Mike@Gt-turbo-spares.

    Holes for bolts will be drilled.

    Passenger side,
    Fit and weld.

    Drivers side ,
    Requires the curve modified. To allow clearance for the drivers side drive shaft weight, I've not got time to modify 4 plates with Christmas coming and new year etc.

    Clearance for Cv boots,
    Passenger side is good.
    Drivers side is close but doesn't touch and passable for mot, this could be close due to my Cv boot design (not sure if genuine boot or replaced)

    You will need to grind the raised edges of the ball joint strengthening plate down at an angle, but this becomes clear once the plate is welded on.


    I'm not 100% sure on postage costs yet either could be looking around £5.

    Price = £10 a set (2 plates)+ postage

    If demand is there then I shall get the design edited and make more in batches of 10, This is purely because i still have trigger wheel brackets left over getting in my way from the first batch of 10.
