Tazio Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I am refreshing all of the suspension components on a 1990 BDR.The car has an underslung rear arb, effectively the arb runs underneath the rear chassis rail, under the fuel tack, and the legs of the arb face forwards, the drop links slide onto these front legs.As part of the refurb I would like to replace them, however after chatting with both Chris Mintoff at Redline, and Bruce at Arch, neither of them knows where these were made or can be sourced from.Does anyone on here know where they came from, or who made them?, if not I'll have to get them fabricated locally.Cheers, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have some used ones ( if I understand your description) . I was told that it was the "race" bar. I am surprised that Bruce doesn't recognise them as they look like he sort of thing he made. Perhaps a photo might jog his memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Roger, mmm, it's what i would have thought as the drop links effectively hang off some small studs on the radius arms, I had presumed Arch made them,, you are right though, I'll take some pics and send them and see if he recognises them.

Mavic82 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I know what you mean, I have the same design. They are very simple, not very different to rack mounts. I was thinking of getting some new ones as mine are out of round. Perhaps we can spec some up and get them made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Guy, I've sent you pics of the links I am on about. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Ah for some reason I thought you meant the arb mounting clamps not the drop links. I have seen these before and I may have a pair somewhere. I replaced mine with an alloy version and the links simply being two rose joints and link piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Guy, that sounds a much neater solution, have you any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I had a chat with Bruce today, sent him a few pics, and he confirmed that Arch didn't make the original links...bugger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
